Actually, I need a precise External HardDrive...like the name of the HD...I knw what's USB...just not much on firewire.

Firewire is alot faster then USB, but not so commen.
It can be gotten for PCs, but most often it's not on the board. Instead you need a PCI card with Firewire connections.

Anyway, I can't really recomend any external drives, because I don't know much about which ones are good.
But really, I suggest you to get an internal drive instead. They are about half the price of the externals.
Or, get a good internal and get an external case for the drive. Those can be gotten for about $20-$30

Just get a USB one which you can bring everywhere knowing that is probably a computer with USB where you are going. o_O

Rage On Dreams · 07-31-2006, 02:08 PM

External looks betters, and I can lock the harddrive and bring it almost everywhere I go

Jakuza · 07-31-2006, 02:11 PM

Lol Rage, an internal will save u less space. Why does it have to look better? Its freakin in the computer. U could bring this anywhere too..its freakin internal.

But i like Seagate.
