Big Ol' Harddrive

Post by Carter York »

Hey Y'all,

I'm looking for a USB external harddrive, and the largest capacity I have found is a 120 GB drive. Does anyone know of a larger capacity *external* drive? Thanks for the info.

Since you're planning on using an external drive, why does it have to be so big? It's not that big a deal to simply unplug one 60-gig drive, and plug in another...is it? It's still 120 gigs.

By the way, larger drives <u>do</u> have downsides. They take longer to defrag or re-format, they're more expensive, and larger drives sometimes have larger sectors...meaning you wind up with more space you can't really use.
