What brand and size should I get? Right now my computer is getting pretty full, and I'd rather it not be so full. I would like to use my computer for just main stuff, but store all of my games, pictures, music, movies, etc, on the hard drive. Right now I have a 170GB Hard Drive, and of that 50GB free. I filled about 120GB up in maybe 2 months time, or less. So would you say a 250GB or 320GB, or different size? For the brand, Western Digital internal hard drives have always worked good for me, and I've looked at a few, and the best reviews go to Western Digital and Seagate. I've also seen a brand I hadn't heard of before now, Iomega, and they seem to have good reviews too, and they are cheaper than other external hard drives. i.e. - A western digital 250GB EHD is $98, while an Iomega 320GB EHD is $100, a mere $2 more for another 70GB of space, and with the same amount of good/bad reviews.
Anyway, any help is appreciated, thanks
Matt
Answers:
Go for the 320gb one.
The important thing to remember is that this is for back up purposes and is not meant to be used as a main drive. So get the biggest one you can and back up your data.
The brands you mention are all good solid makes the only differences will be in speeds etc which are not that important if all you doing is data back up.
I would not go so far as to get a 500gb drive though as you will actually only be getting about 450gb, 320gb is more than enough
