I recently bought a WD 2TB 3.5" hard drive at $179 from bizgram, not sure if got cheaper but the price seems ok. But need to plug in power though

hmm looking for those portable ones though. using power from the desktop/notebook. hard to find eh? i mean. it has to be slim too because my bags are pretty small :bsmilie:

It's very easy to find, just get the 2.5" ones. Go to bizgram website and download their pricelist, got quite a few brands

External Seagate/Maxtor HDD. (Y)
Get a harddisk bay with 4 slots. Get 4 X 2TB, and there u have it. 8TB. Enough for u or not. Hahaha.
But connect E-SATA cable will be faster, or get one with firewire support, USB 2.0 not really fast if u transferring data out of 3HDD at the same time, as they share only one wire.

Western Digital. Love the warranty.

Was using the Mybook studio 320gb. Just sent one for RMA last week and they sent me back the 1tb version!

:thumbsup:

Mate, I want to send mine now to RMA...:bsmilie::bsmilie:
