I'm a college student, looking for a reliable, fairly big external hard drive. But the less expensive the better, because I am on a pretty tight budget.
It doesn't have to be brand new on the market, pretty or small. I think it would be less expensive to buy one that's come out a few years ago, what are your thoughts on this? And any reccommendations on a couple of the older goodies?
My current laptop has a capacity of 60gb, and It's almost full, and lately I've had to make some rough choices on what to keep and what to get rid of. I'll be using the hard drive to store Home Videos, TV shows, Thousands of Mp3's, Pictures, and a backup of this computer to use throughout college. Minimally I should get a 160gb, maybe more if I'm planning on storing lots of TV shows.. I'm just not sure of what size.
I'd be accessing it a lot though, to watch the TV shows, listen the music. So I guess that means it should have a good rpm speed too.?
Any specific model recs would be great, thanks!
