    It's good for putting your music on it instead of your computer moving slow. It's also perfect if you have to reformat windows you can put everything on your computer into the external. Look into getting one though, I recently but a 500GB external for $79.99, thats a good deal.

    I have 4 WD Externals. 1x 400gb, 1x 500gb, 2x 1tb. WD has never given me any problems. If I was you, I'd go with WD. Plus Seagate externals are going bad.

    www.newegg.com

    That site got some great deals on computer parts and other electronic accessories.

    I recommend that you get a Western Digital external drive. They last long (make sure you take care of it and don't be the average owner and leave it on a subwoofer!) and works decent for me. I bought a 1TB Essential Edition drive for $150, but the cashier gave me a better price.
