When you buy an external hard drive, you are really only buying the external case and the USB interface. The hard drive that is inside of it is irrelevant; you can put any drive you like inside of it. If the cost of the ext. hard drive is more than it would cost to buy a smaller capacity one and a bigger hard drive by itself, don't do it. Lots of times it would be cheaper to just by an external HDD with a very small disk, buy a large capacity hard drive by itself (I.E. 200Gb Maxtor for about $85.00), take the external apart and replace the smaller drive with the bigger one.

Normal rule of thumb: You only get what you pay for
If what you are going to put on this external drive is of any importance, maybe you don't want the cheapest one. A few bucks more should get you a name brand that is considered reliable.

Look at manufacturer's Web sites. Factory reconditioned merchandise is a real deal and usually carries the same guaranty as the original. I have used this several times with no problems.

Check at http://www.newegg.com
If you are using WIndows 98, DON'T get one. If you are using Windows 2000, you will have to PATCH software to get it past 137GB. But if you have Windows XP, GO FOR IT without hesitation.

www.tigerdirect.com has some cheap stuff. Most of its remanufactured though, but I think with some warranty.
