External Harddrive

what he said, how is it going to die?

 

movies, musik, programs, everything dat intrest me!

i have almost every good remix that remixers upload on acid frum since like 2002

i got mostly every chune possible..everything possibly that u can have on a computer

 

better keep that on the low. for all we know, the government probably tracking every word you type on the computer lol

 

yep,
everyhard drive is bound to fail sometime.

same way a human being dies.

i said the samething when i learned this.

 

yea dat happend 2 me before...except it was ma computer...i mad important shit on diz desktop i had and i lost all of it..da files i had wasnt on ma external..i liteally shed a tear when it happend...its always good 2 have a backup external

 

how often does this happen?

 

320GB Is good yes. But I would rather put like 1 more hundred and get a 500GB. For me I download a lot of music & movies, so I have a big external hard drive. I am working on some cash to get a Western Digital 750 GB 7200 RPM 10/10/1000 Mbps Ethernet External

 

u might as well go wid ah one terabyte yo,das 1,000 gigs,and dey be havin good saled on dem,u can even buy and internal drive,and buy an enclosure for it,and there u have ah external.

 

its pretty much random
i think sometimes you can hear noises come from the drive that can be a sign.

but its really random.

 

There's one thing. It won't die easily if you take good care of it.

 

das right

 

A external hard drive can not just die like that, its a way it can be crashed.

 

Yea buy a 1 Tb(~1000GB) and that should last u a good time.
price should range from $130 to ~ $180 max. i Bought a 1TB from radioshack for $150. it was a web only deal.

 

all hard drives die after 8-15 years. by then you'll already get another one and transfer. I have this 8gb seagate drive that i use for bullshit and i had it since 1998. it still runs fine now but its noiser than it used to be. if you turn your computer off at nights and all that then you wouldnt have a problem. every computer i had i always kept it on and disabled the hd powered down when idle so that really stresses it.

 

320GB is plenty you will probably get 270GB out of it not more
Lacie is a good brand yes

 

i have a 1T Western Digital MyBook that is absolutely excellent

 

ive been using the 500gb portable one from Lacie w/ no problems for 6 months now, even though the retractile usb cord is short its still convenient. One thing, if u buy one from them make sure u format it to NTFS cuz its default is FAT32. I learned that the hard way...

 

I just got a AcomData 500Gb External Harddrive.

 

i have a 2.5 inch western digital 500gb =) no power supply needed

 

westernal digital best i think they have
