Get an external hard drive

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

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.

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.

Isn’t it cute?

And it doesn’t look as fat as it really is!!!

I bought my 2,5” and 320 GB external hard drive on Saturday, but the salesman sold the wrong case to me. The case doesn’t fit with the drive, that’s why I can’t use it and have to change the case today.
But I guess tonight I can mark this goal as ‘done’.
Fingers crossed!

This took a bit longer than anticipated, since there was something funky with the ones we initially ordered and we decided to return them for a different, better brand.

They just arrived and I now have a beautiful, shiny 500GB iomega Hi-Speed USB 2.0 desktop hard drive in front of me.

Easy as pie to hook up (love the blue light!) and I’m now backing things up – it’s a hungry, hungry drive. Feeling better already.

It broked and I lost everything. sigh Even the cheaper one lasted longer. Now I resort to dvd recordable disks.

So far, I love the one I got for work. I back up my work laptop every Monday, and the drive is EXACTLY what I want for my home laptop. I’ll keep it on my wishlist and snag it when the price is right.

I get to test drive one, which got great Amazon reviews and which is cute and little and stuff. I added it and some accessories to make it go with my laptop (fix for the power issue) to my wishlist … and I’ll wait on it for a while. Glad to have done some research and made a decision (sort of). Excited for the test drive.
