my lap top only has 60gb of space. i download shitloads of music and am running out of space. does anyone have any good ideas on where to store some of my mp3's? i've heard a little about external hard drives?

just get external hard drive. you can get decent ones for under 100 bucks now... just plug it in to your USB port and BAM!

I got a Western Digital 500gb external little over a year and a half ago for 125... most likely has gone down in price since then. have had no problems with it

'bout 90-100$ for a 500gig, 190-220 for a 1000gig (aka 1 tb)
really your only option for a lapper, internals dont get very big, as far as I understand, and any other hosting is lame or time consuming

DO A BARREL ROLL

cool. i'll have to find a cheap one somewhere.

I'll link you

there are no super deals, but here

you could always keep stone tablets. it worked for Moses.

500gbs is a lot of space. that's what i'm going to shoot for. this one seems like a good one.

cant see it on my hone. 500gb sounds like a lot of space until you get one... i think i have 12 of them now. never enough. i want 2TB cards.

i think i'll be fine with 500. i can't believe i didn't run out of space sooner with only 60 gigs on my laptop.

500gb? that's a lot of shemales.

500gb? das fugen smut

I just plugged in my hard drive tower.... so much hard drive space.
5x500GB
2x750GB
and then a bunch of 100's and 200's

they are full of donkey mating.

Can I fit this on an ipod?

can this guy has problems?

Guess that was before i decorated the walls...

what does buffer size mean

buffer doesn't much matter when usb'ing it.
look for the loonger warrenty. seagate usually has 5 years.

how's'bout MBps rate?
is it the higher the number, the better?

usb 2.0 is 480Mbps

carina loves mybooks

the brand?

oh yeah, and the warranty is good until may 2009 too

that's actually terrible. all the other ones you were looking at would have been goot til 2011-2013.
mybooks are only one brand, western digital.

ahhhhh shitty.
what are the chances it shits the bed before 2009? would it be a good idea to get buy the extended warranty?

damn nig, that things sweet. i got one that's 160GB and it's half full already
it's this oneright here

I ordered a Seagate 320 GB Freeagent Pro at the beginning of this semester. It comes with USB, and eSATA jacks, but you can take it out and install dual 400 Firewire jacks (which also come with it). It's fast, awesome, and didn't cost me all that much. I also ordered it on a Wednesday, and had it by Friday. Very cool shit.

I have 2 250GB like that and they are both mad full.

If you're doing video editing with just a USB drive you run an almost certain risk of corrupting Avid, or FCP files.

yeah ming, it's got lot's'o'space yo. it's pretty fast transferring files too. it's quiet also. i'm about to bang it in it's port doggy styleyyyyyy. i only paid $104.andchange.
