External Harddrive...

by m4xi • 7 Dec 2008, 13:28 • Journals
Basically I'm in need of a new hdd but I don't feel like buying one, for which I have to open my pc and plug it in before I'm able to use it. Therefore I feel like buying an external one, due to the fact that it must be mobile.

Now I've no clue, which one to buy because there is a width variety of brands/sizes 2.5"-3.5"/capacity/with or without power cord etc...

Any recommendations?
Personal experience might help me a lot, at least I hope so...
Thanks in advance..

well without power cord is much more simple so you dont need any extra wires to use it just plug and play :d

buffalo ministations are nice and small, capacity is 160/320 gb if i remember right and it doesnt need power cord

Are they fragile?
Went to a store, saw some drives and when I saw some HDD's (not the one you mentioned though but...) I thought that I'd immediately break a few.

if u r going to drop a hdd on the floor then there isn't a hdd designed for u, sorry! any hdd if it has a bigger hit, has a really big chance that it won't work properly/not at all anymore

you make it sound like connecting an internal hdd is hard work or something

You can get a decent 500GB ext hdd these days for <£60
I've got 2 freecom ext drives here, you need a power source for them as they're not powered by the usb :{
