Well, the inevitable has happened and I have filled my hard drive with music for my ipod so I'm going to need to buy an external hard drive to store it all on.

I was just wondering if anyone could recommend me a couple? I want a 120gb one and preferably want to spend as little as possible (I'm a student and money=beer :P)

Cheers guys

I'm thinking of new one myself. So far I have it narrowed down to either a freecom toughdrive or a Lacie Rugged.

I think I might have a subliminal rubber fetish.

 

I guess if your going for cheap and cheerful, the maxtor are cheap and available here:-

Maxtor STM3250310AS 250GB SATAII 8MB Cache - OEM = £22.99 all you need is a HD caddy to connect it to your PC:-

Icy Box 3.5 IDE USB Aluminium Silver Caddy = £20.49

 

haha! I had a look at the toughdrives as well. It's probably a good bet for me because I'll need to transport the HD quite a bit and the rubber can protect it... as well as keep Billy happy

A cheap drive with a caddy would be good but I'm worried it might get damaged :S Cheers for the suggestions guys

 

check out amazon they have drives starting from £30 brand new plus delivery is really cheap. i would recommend western digital passport. theyre small and tough and fast at transfer and are not expensive

 

Problem is the SATA drive and the IDE caddy are not compatible with each other.
