External Disk

[limesqueezer]

I want to buy a new disk from 500 gb to 1 tb, do u have any recommendations.
Cause my power supply is overloaded already i want a disk outside of pc, possibly not a very loud one. I never had such disk before. Anybody has any or knows any good ones ?

What will you be using it for? There's quite a difference between 500 gb and a terabyte. Do you actuallty need the extra 500 gb or no?

I've seen 500GB USB2 drives by LaCie for about £115 (€170) plus VAT.
If you want Firewire 800 that pushes the price up by over 50%.

1TB drives are about £350 (€510), so it really is important to decide if you need the capacity, but those drives have the Firewire 800 option.

Note - these are desktop drives so they are not intended to be carried around as portable storage.

You could get an external enclosure and put a drive into it. Seagate drives are quiet.

If you don't know if you need 500 GB or or 1 TB then you could get one 500 GB drive for now and add another one later.

This is better for value and also it is a maxtor hard drive which are apparently more reliable. http://www.microdirect.co.uk/Product...98&GroupID=219

I was actually thinking about this one: http://www.misco.co.uk/productinform...affiliate=2012 but I've no personal experience of either.

I doubt there's much to choose between them in terms of performance, so I'd personally go for the cheapest.

Is that the same as a caddy case? I have one where i can put internal HD in. So the official name is external exclosure?

I don't know about "official name" but that's what they are called at Newegg.
