In the market for External hard drive

[turbotalon1g]

Can anyone point me in the right direction?

I'm looking for something to backup my pics, videos, music, etc.
I am currently getting my 250GB HD saved, so i need something at least with that much space.

I asked a guy at a computer store and he showed me something that uses a USB cord to a hard drive plug in.
He says he likes it cause its less bulky and he can have as many HDs as he wants with one cord.

I'm kinda out the loop on everything and I figured you guys would be able to help.

Thanks
Aaron

(also if my HD gets saved I have lots of music to share.)

I bought one last spring from a computer store. Basically it's just a 3.5" HD in an external aluminum case. All it takes to plug it in is a power cord that came with the case, and a usb cord to connect it to the computer. Easy as pie to work with, and I know all my important stuff is safe should my computer crash or anything.

I got one similar to this one and has been working great!

How much space do you need? I'm looking at this one:

All are decent. I've used seagate and western digital 'mybooks' with great results.

I'm currently using like this:

With a 500Gb or 1TB (can't remember) seagate hard drive stuck in it.

I didn't know they made those, that piece is awesome if you're wanting to backup on multiple drives.

[scheides]

Yup and its plug and play too! Only thing is its not quite as rugged as the full enclosures so keep it clear of coolant, oil leaks, and other dsm stuff :D

Thanks guys. The HD recovery guy said that the main board burned out, so that I could buy another one of the same model and switch parts to hopefully save it.

Can anyone point me in the right direction?

I'm looking for something to backup my porn, porn, and porn.

Fixed. Lets be honest here...

;)

Bumpin this back rather than starting another one. I'm gonna pick up that thing that scheides posted up, now I need to find an actual drive.

Any good places to look for an HD from at least 250GB i would say.
I'm still looking for a Maxtor A01A250 OneTouch 7200 RPM 250 GB External Hard Drive to save my old data.
