Tech question (external hard drives)
I'm running out of room on my hard drive (all that shemale porn, heh heh) and I'm in the market for an external drive. I'm looking at a 250GB by LaCie and a 200GB by Maxtor. I don't want to spend more than $200. Anyone out there have any experience and/or suggestions? Thanks in advance.

Take a look at lacie's site, you'll be able to pick up a 300GB external drive for about $200. they've also got a clearance corner with reconditioned drives going quite cheap too, http://www.lacie.com/products/cleara...ucts/?id=10007 . there's also a company called ebuyer that operates in the states as well as the UK, you'll be able to pick up a cheap drive from them too. I've got a 300GB maxtor in a firewire caddy which cost me about $160 for when I hijack my friends fast connection to "acquire" adult material

Thanks for the advice folks. From what I've read a lot of these things crap out after a fairly short period of time. True?

dont waste the extra money buying external. if u buy internal youll save at least 100 bucks.
install is a sinch, dont be scared to open up your pc and fuck around. to install it is literally undoing 2 screws taking off the siding, putting the new hard drive in, hooking up the ide and power cable, put in mounting screw then close the case and format the drive. it will take you 15 mins max.
heres a phenominal deal on a drive, i just ordered one myself.

Ok. Forgive me if this is a stupid question, but what do I do with all of the data that is currently on my drive?
