External Hard Drive

Am looking for a external hard drive.

Quality is important. Plug and play is also important. Can any one recommend a good external hard drive for me?

Thanks.

Seagate's a great brand for hard drives, you should look into that. How much space do you plan on using?

Thanks. I am looking for about 200 gig. Does Seagate also have the external enclosures?

Of course they do. That is what makes an external hard drive, external.


You can actually buy External casings and install a hard drive into it yourself if you want to save some money.



However, if you want to look for something that is already pre made and comes with a warranty, I recommend the Western Digital My Books.

By looking on Newegg.com for 200GB drives, they got some nice drives starting around $65.

Here's a 250GB Seagate External Hard Drive that is $80 bucks total without taxes: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16822148233
