These external drives are very useful!
Amazon have then for around £60 too and with their free delivery this makes
them attractive.
I've just seen the Freecom External eSATA Hard Drive Pro and their transfer
speed is exceptional. They're somewhat more expensive but if speed is of
the essence then they're well worth a look.

Are these external USB hard drives just plug and go? They sound great for
back-up.

Hi Harry - no idea:
Either I have dyslexic fingers today or I have some spurious outlook =
setting which has strangely encoded some symbols in my post.
What I meant to say was I had seen a 250 gig harddrive on misco for a =
bargain price of =A360 (sixty pounds). External drives do seem to be =
getting cheaper very quickly.

It is more a question you want it to do. If you just have the one PC =
=3D
then a cheap USB hard drive will be sufficient. If for example you have =
=3D
a number of PCs and a router to connect it to with a free ethernet port, =
=3D
and want to have your files available throughout your home network then =
=3D
the one with ethernet that describes itself as network attached storage =
=3D
may be the thing you want. In theory you could connect it directly to a =
=3D
PC with a network port using a corssover cable but I wouldn't advise it. =
=3D
USB and firewire are better for direct PC connection.

KHi all, please can anyone tell me what the best external hard drive =
=3D
is for
me to use with my laptop? There's one which plugs into the router and =
=3D
one
that just goes into your computer, right? So anyone know which is the
better and if I went for the router one can you use it directly into =
=3D
the
computer or is it restricted?
Maybe someone will tell me something else is easier for VI people to =
=3D
use
than an external hard drive? Thanks and
