I'm looking to get a 300+gb external HD(possibly several). Any suggestions/recomendations?

They has a 250GB internal HD for $55 shipped. You could have gotten a case for it and been golden... I'd try newegg. They always have great prices and they ship really fast. What are your requirements? Firewire, Network Capability, etc? wonner 03-26-2006, 08:18 PM USB 2.0, Firewire or Ethernet...doesn't matter. Although, from what I read, USB is faster. The main point of the thread is brand suggestions. I have a Ximeta Ethernet external and it recently took a shit on me. So I'm looking for something reliable. Animal 03-26-2006, 08:35 PM With HDs in general, stay away from maxtor. Seagates are good, but kinda expensive. I've had good luck with WD drives.

It should more then cover your storage needs.

Cosby 04-09-2006, 10:51 AM I had a 250GB WD external that got a little warm and took a crap on me recently. It always acted weird before that too and it was only about a year old. wonner 04-09-2006, 12:10 PM Oh really? wonner 05-28-2006, 04:14 PM Wow, I totally forgot about this thread...I wound up buying a 400GB Seagate. http://common.ziffdavisinternet.com/util_get_image/10/0,1425,sz=1&i=101790,00.jpg Supper 05-28-2006, 11:13 PM nice :bigthumb: Say No To Pistons 05-28-2006, 11:18 PM I like Maxtor and WD.... i hate Maxtor... so do a lot of people... why? because theyre unreliable pieces of crap.
