Buying An External Drive...
« Reply #15 on: December 05, 2005, 08:05:00 AM »
I\'m thinking about an external hard drive. I have an 80 gig hard drive in my laptop (well 60 after all that crap Dell put on my computer) and I\'m filling it up with crap. I wanna get some of the media off of my compy and onto another hard drive so my hard drive inside the laptop is just programs and such.

I\'ve heard LaCie is a good brand. They sell Terabyte drives, which is nuts. But I don\'t think the Lego design would fit in with everything else I have.

get a external USB hd rack to ata/sata, wack in your own hd... easy. Seagate or WD for brands.
I\'ll keep that in mind.

just get a drive enclosure and buy any standard harddrive you want to put in it.  Then just hook it up via usb 2.0

Seriously. I had to delete so much stuff on my computer (not just porn) so I have enough room.

Lacie for me. Coz my G4 Powerbook is useless without it with the editing space I need.

That sounds simple enough.

Yeah, I deal with uncompressed images/video/whatever all the time and it fills up space fast. :/

Would buying an enclosure cost more than buying the drive alone?

it seemed like he was looking for one with a built in drive.  So, I thought it would be nice to tell him to get one so that he could remove the HD in the future.

Not everyone is amazing like you soulgrind

Enclosures are 8-25 dollars, HDDs are pretty cheap now.  

This enclosure was 13 dollars, and a 300 GB HDD (refurbished Seagate, as I recall) was another 120.  After tax/shipping, I got an additional 300 GB for about 150 bucks, which wasn\'t bad.  Transfer rates decent enough, fine for mass storage.
