I need to buy an external Hard Drive for the home computer. Problem is, there are so many out there that I don't know which one to get
![]() I want one that plugs in via USB I dont need more than 320GB (although looking on amazon you can get 500GB ones which are cheaper) I dont mind if it looks ugly, aslong as it does the job (storing music and photos only) I also have a budget of £70 max Any adivce would be really helpful ![]() Maria |

Personally I would get an esata card, case and sata drive.
I have an Integral sata/USB case with a 1.5TB sata drive. nice and fast and quick to move between systems. although my laptop only has a sata 1 card

Take ya pick:
http://www.ebuyer.com/search?page=1&...t=4&subcat=128 There's really not that much to buying a external hard drive, the price depends on how fancy it looks. The only thing to watch out for is make sure the external hard drive supports USB 2.0 which most do now a-days. ![]() |

![]() Will use Ebuyer sometimes when they are a bit more expensive just because of the service. You can specify date and time of delivery and city link are mainly good at keeping that delivery. One thing I have noticed is you can never get through to them via the phone but they do answer email quick enough. |
