Are you going to use it to backup data, or will you be using it constantly (as in it will always be on?) If so, you might need some external cooling (basically a fan).

If he's going to use it constantly, it's just better to get an internal hard drive.
Unless, of course, he's on a laptop, in which case he should set up a file server in his home network for cool.

If he's on a laptop he needs to get a proper fucking computer.

WD 1TB Black + good external enclosure that has proper cooling, most companies put their cheapest drives in their externals so they are slow, also using your own external enclosure can help guarantee you have the ports you need

They are supporting europe by "lending" some cash to Portugal and some others... fuckers !
Parent
▼
Aniky 20 Sep 2011, 21:22
yeh, just today it was showing how much budget europe have for loans to give out, but well, sooner or later country's wont be able to give anymore for national bank, then all goes bibuy xd
Parent

ag0n 20 Sep 2011, 21:24
^^ not so soon, while some will keep getting more and more rich, some other countries will just go to bank route
Parent
▼
Aniky 20 Sep 2011, 21:31
well at one side its also cus they give so much money to the europe bank account for loans and stuffs, and if u wont give, they said u wont receive help if u will need it at future, so everyone is kind of force to give that amount of cash, so u make insurance for future in case their country go same way down. But yeh, checking at the status now, i dont really think any country could get more rich, even if u check Germany, they wont be able to give so much cash into this project forever, so smth will need to be done to prevent future crysis of the bankrups of EU countrys.

ag0n 20 Sep 2011, 21:35
indeed, but while we get this money, we pay a higher price directly to Germans i guess.. because of "renting" this money
Parent
▼
Aniky 20 Sep 2011, 21:41
i guess, well just hope they can solove this somehow, even tho, i strongly dobut it.

welcome to Portugal :|

everything is cheaper here, but still.. 475€ minimum salary is NOTHING to pay a house rent / food/ gasoline. Spain is just our close neighbor and their stuff is even cheaper and they receive alot more per month.

to make it even more sad, a person with a university degree (Licentiate for example) gets around 1000€ at a decent company (sore receive even lower amount of money..depends of what you have studied), while some random dumbass from germany or other country, without any studies, doing a lame job, gets alot more :>

that is the 1TB version of my 320gb external, mines worked well so far :)

if you are hooking it upto a ps3 however make sure you change the drive type to FAT32 as ntfs does not work for ps3, unsure about xbox360 ;)

Very satisfied with it especially the software that comes free :)
