External Hard Drive 320gb portable

[suenay]

I think I like the Western Digital, 2nd choice Toshiba, 3rd choice Iomega...just got to shop around when next in England....not buying one in Spain they cost an arm and a leg

The WD Passport is an excellent choice for a portable drive, and it comes with a case, I have a 160GB one. But at the time of purchase, all that I had was a laptop. So I bought a Seagate Free Agent (500GB) backup drive that has a separate power supply. They do make similar drives with as much or as little capacity as you want. Originally, I was going to purchase a 320GB backup drive, but fellow members suggested that I get a 500GB, the extra cost was around $10, but the extra space is worth a lot more than that. WD is among the best of drives, whether internal or external, or backup drives. They have a wide variety to meet most any need.

Yes I think the WD is my first choice....many thanks for your input....much appreciated.

I erase my old backup when I make a new one (thats all of C - the OS and Programs D backup space stays about the same.

Some people don't Just saying...

Very good choice suenay! I have a WD Passport, and it's great!

By, the way, you could just order the drive from the uk, on amazon or something like that.

Sadly Amazon won't mail hardware to Spain......but I am never one to turn down the chance of a shopping trip.

I'm not familiar with Spain, but are there retail sellers of computer accessories there? In most countries, there are, but I know nothing about where you live. Going to the UK or the US for a hard drive is going out of the way, unless you're planning a vacation.

I live in Spain permanantly but I also have a little house in the UK which I use for visiting my relatives and friends. I plan on buying a hard drive on my next visit. I go every other month.

I think we can broaden our horizons.

It wouldn't hurt to ask any question. I'm sure if anyone knows the answer, you will get a response. The Off-Topic section is just that, anything that is not related to Windows 7.

A youthfull red and a plate of paeola (pae'ola) but like you said too hot just now. ;-)

 

[suenay]

You may be interested to know that the purists say that paella must always be prepared by men and it should be made over a wood fire.....

 

[Mychael]

I can make a mean Risotto. Now just need the whitewashed stone buildings, the 'med' etc, etc. lol

 

[Nibiru2012]

Oh yes, using a paellera (paella pan) the traditional large flat pan with two handles and of course bomba rice! :eating:

Cooked where the rice on the bottom has a nice crunchy texture to it.

Don't forget the world's most expensive spice - Saffron!

 

[TrainableMan]

Unless somebody is cooking over a nice hot computer heatsink. I think this thread has been hijacked!

Yupper! Shanghaied again!
