Re: 2nd H/D 200GB+ ? Recomendations
 

I would like an additional hard drive of that type of capacity, but would prefer an extrnal one that connects by USB - a type of flash memory setup, if that makes sense (I am non-technical!).

Can anyone advise me please?

I use a Maxtor 120GB External One Touch Button Drive...

Its a GREAT H/D but requires a Power Cord. USB2 is Fast, but I switch it on & off as I need it. So with a Internal Drive its ALWAYS on... & its easyer to use. The 120GB External I use is good. My friend had exact same as mine & 6 months later it failed. His Power outlet was dodgy. So watch out you dont loosen the conectors

Thanks 4 Blankdisk Shop. I forgot about them :D

I find the Lacie D2 and FA Porsche range of hard drives to be good.

The D2 (http://www.dabs.com/uk/productView.h...JCW&familyid=0) are fairly large, but are fast and support connection by USB, USB 2, Firewire 400 (the standard used for attaching camcorders) and Firewire 800 (twice as fast as USB 2 or FW400, but very few PCs support it).

The FA Porsche (http://www.dabs.com/uk/Search2/Produ...chphrase=lacie) is physically smaller, cheaper & only supports USB or Firewire, but they are still good, and apparently don't need a power supply.

Awfully sorry to hijack... but I'm also looking having just got a mobo with SATA.

Looking in the region of 250 GB, SATA, with a 16 MB cache if possible.

Any recommendations? I'd like to avoid WD because of the rep for failures.

incentive: green reps will be offered for anyone helping, as always.
