Well I woke up to my laptop sounding like a circular saw, so i know my HD is going bad. I shut it off, and when i turn if back on I want to put everything on a Ext. HD ASAP.

I'm looking to buy one tonight, have you guys seen any good sales this week? or any reccomendations in general? any advice would be helpful

Thanks

I love my couple of Seagate external HDs.

Help me chose:
1. Maxtor 250GB OneTouch™ 4 External Hard Drive
$99
2. Wester Digital Passport 160GB (real small)
$88
3. Seagate Free agent Pro 500GB
$145
4. Wester Digital MyBook 320GB
$95

The FreeAgent Pro has a good backup software system that is included in that package. Thats what I use with my system to backup all of my files.

i love me some WD Passports

1 USB cable does data AND power so you dont need an external AC adapter or second USB port

plus the XBox 360 recognizes it and plays music and DivX and XVid AVI and WMV off it

SbTeAeTrE, where's the $80 160gb WD you mentioned? shoot, $80 before any rebates, after taxes, and in stock locally is well worth picking up...i could use the drive

meh. Too bad you need it now. I bought a new 500gb WD Elements for $85 off of ebay. Took like 3 days to get here.
