Recommend Me An External Hard Drive

[Pablo72]

Morning.

I'm looking for an external harddrive for backing up my music/files/game saves etc. Capacity can be either 60bg or 80gb. Not fussed about power coming from USB or adaptor.

I've been looking at the Western Digital Passport 60gb/80gb models... does anyone have any thoughts on these, or on another brand that might fit the bill?

Many thanks.

Paul

Calm down, calm down, some of us have a job to do too

If you can get away with <100Gb then go with a 2.5" disk, that way it'll be USB powered. You could go for a separate drive and caddy then put them together yourself, might be cheaper plus you can choose the make of disk you want. Warranty might be longer on a separate disk, it certainly is for 3.5" prebuilt externals.

Many thanks for replying, however I'm not really looking to hobble something together myself (hard drive/caddie), I'm more inclined to buy something "off the shelf" so to speak... which is why I indicated my interest in the Western Digital Passport series.

Thanks all the same, though.
