| 852087 | 2010-01-26 02:40:00 | we have a.. 160gb? i think, Iomega drive at work. It seems fine, not especially fast, but have been using it for about a year, no trouble. I'd still look at WD or Seagate personally, though. | inphinity (7274) | ||
| 852088 | 2010-01-26 03:17:00 | Try Warehouse Stationery. They have a Seagate 500gb external hard drive in current mailer for $99.00 | leonidas5 (2306) | ||

| 852091 | 2010-01-26 03:36:00 | the one you specified has to be plugged into mains. i want USB powered | GameJunkie (72) | ||
| 852092 | 2010-01-26 04:54:00 | I am no expert but I would have thought an externally powered one would put less strain on your system. Especially if it's a laptop. | Driftwood (5551) | ||

| 852094 | 2010-01-26 05:06:00 | It'll probably run by power, / and have USB, whether you use a desktop or laptop. Or it may not work properly (if its not powered as well) | Speedy Gonzales (78) | ||
| 852095 | 2010-01-26 05:09:00 | not much good at a picnic though! x2, the reason i want a usb powered one is for my laptop at university etc at DSE they had a WD my passport hdd(500gb) for 148, but it was only availiable at two stores :(. they had the newer model for $199. bit much for me at this point. |
