i'm looking for maybe like a 250 gb external hdd. where are the best prices usually found? online? B&M stores? what brands are reliable? i've never owned one, so is there anything i should know regarding them?
-
you looking for pocket drives or a fullsize external hdd? Size preference?

umm whichever is cheaper. and i want a 250gb one. or something close to that capacity
-
Well i'd look at the My Books by Western Digital. They seem to be popular and you can get a 250gb for $105

I started pirating stuff and I need more space :-[

If you have Circuit Cities around you, they were selling the 500 giggers in store for like 160 bucks, at least as of a few weeks ago.
-
I bought a 260GB with Firewire for $150 at frys last week,
-
Good drives. Too bad the ones I have are Maxtor and WD but through a enclosure. Pirating stuff takes up shit tons of space.
-
The Mybook is a WD on the inside. It's very cool for an external drive. It hhas better ventilation than most I have ever seen. And it still looks pretty nice.
-
Any of them E-sata yet? Thats faster than USB 2.0 correct?
-
I know they announced eSata ones back in january or february. No idea if they are on the market yet.
-
Havent seen them on the net. But that'd be what I'd get for an external personally.

Right there. They aren't even that much more expensive.
-
Fucking awesome, now if only i had the rest of a computer put together for use. You still need to help me get a copy of Vista =P
-
Hm. I'm just going to use this as a preliminary one. I just want something reliable. I'm going to be putting quite a bit of stuff on there including ripping all of my cd's, so I'll probably fill it up quite easily.
-
Yeah they are pretty reliable and like TVC said they run cooler than most drives cause of the matterials the enclosure is made of.
-
I was going to suggest newegg.com but everyone else beat me to it.
Why not just use DVD-R's though? They hold like 4+ gigs or something don't they?

oh, because i'm downloading a bunch of stuff like games and music and I want it easily accessible and archived. I don't want to have to pull it off of a disk.

Makes sense. Don't worry, I still love you. :)
