Can someone link me to a good External HD? - Blu-ray Forum

raginranger · 09-02-2008, 01:06 AM

I need a good external hard drive (USB) to use to back-up my music files, but I have no clue what brand to choose. Basically, I need 100GB tops (although I realize it may be hard to get one for that low an amount of storage). I don't want to make a mistake of getting a bad brand or model. Can someone link me to the best value hard drive out there for this amount of storage? I'm so clueless.

thanks.

The passport HDD is both small and with great memory capacity

You are correct, the lower capacity models are now a lot rarer and tend to cost more than their larger brothers.

This is the same brand and type Quexos mentioned, but a 250gb. It has a Labor Day special price associated with it and has free three day shipping.

I would go with Western Digital brandwise. As far as a good deal, check newegg.com. They usually have good deals.
