Looking For An External Hard Drive

[RicardoObviouso]

I want to buy an external hard drive for my new laptop. it has to be good quality, small, light, quick and lots of space.

 

i'm not sure if this makes a difference, but the laptop is a T61, and it will be running xp pro.

 

considering all of the requirements listed above, if anyone can list some recommendations or choices, please do. thanks

I suggest anything by Western Digital, I have a good exprience with their external drives. There's a portable line that's smaller and lighter and everything has tons of space nowadays so it shouldn't be a problem.

i cobbled together my own a few months back.

 

get a venus enclosure and a seagate hardrive and you're set.

[RicardoObviouso]

wtf is a venus enclosure?

 

 

and by the way, the hd has to bee good looking.

 

 

edit2:

i'm going to go with either lacie little disk

or

lacie mobile

 

unless, of course anyone has something terrible to say about this company's reliability or performance.

I have a Lacie 500gb. It's small, lightweight, and works just fine. I recommend it.

 

I thinnk it was less than $150 at Future Shop.

Well I would have suggested my WD 160 gig mini external drive, was about $119 USD.

i like WD too, small and good.

i bought the lacie mobile hard drive, design by f.a. porsche, 160gb for $101 CAD shipped from toronto.

 

i'm thinking about getting the lacie hard disk by neil poulton just because its sexy.

that is basically what I own, they just dropped the 160 GB one is all.

[garsk]

yeah, the Western Digital one is sexier.

[RicardoObviouso]

that one is pretty hot. i'm thinking its the direct competitor to the lacie i just bought.

[Audio of Being]

great, i own a sexy black hard drive ;)
