Everyone Roph, I'm considering getting an external hard drive for media storage and backups. it doesn't matter if it's firewire or USB. I just want something good around 500gb. ~
Oh and it can't be loud. :mad:

are you going to take it out? plug it somewhere else? share the files onto another computer?
why not get an internal?
He can't get an internal because:
1. He's afraid of electrocuting himself by touching parts on the inside of the computer.
2. He doesn't know how to put it in.

Because I want to transfer files to my awesome iMac when I get one. And I want to use the HD with the iMac, rather than having an internal HD sitting in a computer I don't use.

Why would I buy something that I can't use when I get a new computer? Not everyone can throw around money like you. ::)

It only has room for one hard drive, and it's not easily accessible. :aryan:
I was supporting your reasoning for getting an External ???
Oh I read that as internal.

Damnit Roph. I was going to post something with a internal and an enclosure >_>
No you weren't.
Quote from: Zombie on September 25, 2008, 12:38:57 AM
I have an enclosure and it's a hell of a better way to go about it than getting an external.
No you don't.

DON'T MOVE MY TOPICS OUT OF THE SEWERS. I'LL MAKE YOU MOVE IT BACK.
Quote from: Zombie on September 25, 2008, 02:11:51 AM
why do you think i'm so retarded nouman?
I only said that it's better to have an enclosure than an external and it should probably be moved to spam. I can see the logic in that.
wait...what D:
that was was my point. You didn't say anything bad so I asked
"just because zombie posts doesn't mean it should...right?"
D:
Zombie is retarded.
lol, backups. I has a seagate 500gb external hd. it belongs to the family(who bought it) but meh they dont know its password. IT HAS A COOL YELLOW STRIPE.
Hard drives are used for storing things :bean:
Well if your willing to throw file capacity aside for a moment perhaps you could just buy a usb 2.0 case and put your old hard drive in it and keep all your files. A empty usb 2.0 hd enclosure is cheap as hell around 10-20 bucks.
dealextreme.com has one for less i think with free shipping but if you need all that space go for the gusto I guess.
