portable HDD

collisster · 17 Aug 2006 at 00:19

The HDD in my pc is messed up and I need a new one, its a maxtor if that makes any difference. I need an external HDD for backing up data and stuffys, which is the slimmest one available?
other criteria:
slim
no less than 40Gb
no power supply
not maxtor

also when I do swap HDD which one should I go for? I'm looking at a Seagate Barracuda 7200.10 250GB ST3250620AS SATA-II 16MB Cache - OEM (HD-079-SE)
is that ok?

Thanks

erm, can somebody advise me on laptop HDD enclosures? and help me with how I work it if i get a laptop HDD and an enclosure, do you just put it in the enclosure and it works or does it need formatting?

Any enclosures to recomend?
