MegaSack DRAW - This year's winner is user - rgwb
We will be in touch
Hi,
My current EHD is getting full and I'm crap at deleting stuff (mainly photos) so I'm in the market for a newer and bigger one.
Are there brands to go for or to avoid? There seems to be such a wide range of price so why would spending a bit more be a good idea?
Also, I'm running out of USB slots. Can I have (say) 2 EHD's on a splitter and feeding into one USB slot on the PC?
Cheers,
Carl.
Yup USB sockets can be chained.
Cheers Drac.
Also, how do I know if my PC has an eSata connection?
Ta.
For external makes no odds.
I bought a Western Digital 1TB for £50. Very impressed with the transfer speed etc, but I'm no techie geek!

Look up your motherboard online and also don't confuse your usb ports but you can buy usb to esata. USB 3 HDs will be out next yr.

Are you the 'Plant' with black cat pics on stw yrs ago?
Any decent make will be OK - Samsung/Maxtor/Western Digital.
However, hard drives fail, so don't go putting a single copy of all of your data on any one of them.
Thanks guys.
Really must copy to DVDrw as well!
