Iomega Portable Hard Drive 5 months ago

Finally did it. We bought one (Iomega 160GB Portable Hard Drive). We’ve been meaning to buy one for the longest of time but never did. One of my uncles had bought one though and my parents I suppose got jealous (lol) and so finally got the okay to buy it.

Cost about $90. Could have bought a 500GB one but I figured I’m okay if it lasts for a year. $90 is okay. I don’t like investing too heavily on things that we may need, right now 160GB is just fine. Maybe later on we’ll upgrade and by that time, storage will be even cheaper!

Done. 5 months ago

I went and bought a new external disc drive this afternoon. I have now set it up and am able to watch my discs again 02/01/09.

Disc Drive. 5 months ago

I need one of these as the disc drive on my computer is no longer reading discs for some reason 25/01/09).

I need to get one of these because my last PC went down and I lost everything in the process of figuring out what was wrong. Don’t want that to happen again.

I want a really big one. Like 500GB+.

700 gigs..because my ipod is 80 and my computer is only 60 and I no longer believe in non-digitized movies and music (because CD cases have been stolen too many times)

Space is cheap these days, comparatively, and very worthwhile… especially in case of computer failure. Don’t lose your stuff! Get an external!

320GB perhaps. 12 months ago

I desperately need one for my iMac. I want to store all my MP3 files onto an external hard drive lest Itunes malfunctions and erases my entire music collection again.

250GB 13 months ago

I bought a 250GB drive today to back up my (still unfixed) laptop, in case I have to wipe it clean to get it working again. It’s good to have even if I don’t have to wipe the drive today.

Ordered it yesterday 13 months ago

After “test driving” this one for work, I love it! Ordered it yesterday.

Just returned from Costco. Purchased a 250 GB Western Digital Portable drive – same one my fiance has for his computer and is very happy with. I plan to go home tonight and back all my treasures up onto it.
