External hard drive recommendation
 

I have the MTU laptop. I have had it a little over a year. It currently has two 60gig drives. 1 for back up. I presently have about 19 gig of room left. I know I still have a little while yet but would like a recommendation from some of you who have already done so on what type/brand of external hard drive to get. I can't see upgrading to 2- 80 gig internals for just 20 extra gig.

Thanks,

Kelly

Kelly,

One can never be too thin or too rich. Likewise a hard drive is never big enough. :w

My suggestion? Buy the 2 largest drive you can afford and they too, eventually would not be large enough. :g :g

Good luck,

Jon

For an external Hard drive I got a 200 gig maxtor usb. It is fast & Big. I have 32,000 .wma tracks on it for music, and 20,000+ .kam (karaoke) files on it. and it is only half full. If I were to suggest, it would be to get the maxtor, and put the music & karaoke files on it.

Get norton Ghost 2003 and make a backup of your c: drive to the d: drive

with ghost you can restore the c: drive in 15 minutes if you keep it down to the OS, & program files.

and with all the files on a usb drive if you should have a catastropic failure, you could always plug the external into a desktop and go on with the show music & karaoke.
