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. ::)

well...the External -could- be used with the iMac as well as the PC.
Macs are able to read Windows formatted disks.

It only has room for one hard drive, and it's not easily accessible. :aryan:

Damnit Roph. I was going to post something with a internal and an enclosure >_>
No you weren't.

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.

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?"
