Title: Good External HDD?
Post by: cutie_pyie on April 17, 2007, 04:42:28 PM

Hi all,

I am interested in purchasing a external HDD for my notebook computer and want your opinion.

Staples has a Maxtor 120GB OneTouch III portable mini drive on sale for $100.00.  Says it is a little over 5.24" in length by 3.54" in height.

Is this a decent External HDD for that money??

Thanks to all!

Cin

Maybe, you should give this one (http://www.smartratings.com/prices/mid_24833080 (http://\"http://www.smartratings.com/prices/mid_24833080\")) some serious consideration. It may also be a good buy for your money. Hope this helps. Good luck.

i have 2 right now, a 100gb and a 250gb...i use the 100 as my main HD (i dont like using my actual laptop's HD)...and i use the 250 for movies/games/music that u download off the net...

i believe i bought the 100 for around $60 at best buy...and the 350 for around $80 on eBay

check eBay for sure...they have very good prices
