I have a little Western Digital Pasport drive... 300 gig... picked it up about a year ago for 120 or so (great deal at the time). never had any issues with it...
check out Newegg.com or TigerDirect.com read the reviews there. really good prices. |

Seagate and Western Digital are two of the top brands. My bro had a couple of WDs fail on him when he built his comp a few years ago, switched to Seagate and hasn't had a problem. I got a 250 gig Seagate protable this past summer for 100 bucks at wal-mart. Not on any special sale or anything.

whatever brand you decide get one in a 2.5 inch size. power via usb is most convienient. ever consider just getting an enclosure and stuffing your own hd in there? i have a rocketfish enclosure thats the shit

There isn't a hell of a lot of difference in what's inside the box. There are only so many USB/Firewire chipsets and only so many manufacturers of hard drives. Just buy a case and install whatever size and manufacturer of drive you tend to prefer. You can pick up a SATA 750GB drive for around $110.00 and a case for $20.00-$30.00. All it takes to put it together is a screwdriver and many manufacturers of enclosures even give you one in the box.

Here's a question,my laptop has a port for a 2nd HD,is it possible to install a HD in that port and use it to back up my info? Or would it crash it with the first HD?
