External hard drives

^ Yeah, but it's really handy when my HDD is full... Just transfer part of my real iTunes Library to the iPod as folders (not listenable songs) ^+++^

 

yea lol

altho i have 120G of music, i only have 5G of songs in my 30G ipod -lol haahahhaha

 

same here, lol.

thanks for the info guys, i check it out after exams and see. i dont plan to use it often or maybe not even at all after i get the portable hd and hopefully i wont be running out of space so ofen after i a new laptop, the one i got now only got 40gb on it so im always running out and got to transfer to the external which im kinda lazy to do so cause i dont always got it plug in. it just one of those just in case things to know. -clapclap

 

I got a fujitsu one from HK a few years ago and it's very dependable and handy. Mine is called a USB2.0 HD external box with only 30gb. It fits into my pocket nicely and is more than enough space for me to put movies, TV series, and music on it.

 

i would say either seagate or western digital as they are two major brands and they are known for good hard drives for a good price of course.. however any company can manufacture poorly functional hard drives so its better if you look up reviews of each hard drive before making your decision... hope you find that hard drive of your choice

 

Western digital and seagate are usually known for the best

seagate are great cause they offer 5 year warranty as standard, WD do 3 years on most and 5 years on a few versions

 

I'm using Lacie Porsche (from 40GB to 500GB)
It's fine and got a nice design. Easy to travel with.

 

well atm i still only haf those dodgy thin 2.5" cases
dodgy as in from ebay

but prev i bought samsung, cos it was the cheapest 80gb one
it was like $170 for 80gb, and i ended up getting 3x of them
now they all kinda feel useless ><

 

i want more HDD too...lol but right now i want 750 GB one tho...i already bought 80 GB first (as i cant find any bigger at the time) but then i realise that it is not enough for me so i bought another one with 400 GB (well, 357 GB as its show on my laptop) with Seagate Manufactor and it is really working fine and good with me...i think mine have build-in fan cooling so...it make even better...i hope i can find 750 GB cheap one tho...in any currentcy lol

 

if u want small an easy to put in your pocket ....try a Comstar 250GB USB 2.0 drive. Its a small case that has a 2.5" Notebook hard drive in it. I've been using it for the 3-months to move my large data base files to and from school. I got mine from Futureshop for $130.00

 

lots of online stores package enclosure and HD together and sell them as external harddrive. Aluminum for sure.

 

ah yeh got meself a 2.5 from HK, but only good for transporting data,

you need to get yourself a 1TB external for backup

 

seagate or western digital is good. also iomega.

 

i dn't really haf anthing i "need" to backup
so its ok atm...
plus if that hdd dies... *sigh*

i just use ty dvds =)
atleast they're supposedly extra reliable! something like 100 years expected life time
don't think i'd b around to test it out hahahaah

 

^haha yeh i know people who burn to dvds

but it takes aaages!!

 

yeah sux cos it takes abt 5mins a dvd ><

should invest in the 16x ty's soon....

mayb i should just build a server comp to hold a few tbs of series and music and fotos, then i don't have to burn it all off

 

Firewire (400) is faster than USB2 (480) even though USB should be faster
So, if you want faster and better performance, go for Firewire 800

 

western digital is gud brand
