| Post subject: | External Hard Drive |
I had a thread of this subject in the past. I want to get a 500gb external. One that doesn't need a power source other than the computer it is plugged into. And it needs to be USB. Any ideas? |

I have one of these and it works great. It's also worth noting that if your computer ever breaks down and you get a new one, you can put your old computer's hard drive in a special dock so that it can serve as an external hard drive. |

I have a WD 500GB drive - simply plug and play via USB. It's only 4 inches by 3 inches and about half an inch thick so I often just take it with me places as I would a normal memory stick. Paid about £60 a year ago or so, but their probably cheaper now and there's a lot on the market similar. |

Anything from the 2.5" external harddrive category on Newegg should work. They use laptop HDDs, so they don't require external power supplies. |
