We have been adding more and more to our hard drive of late and trying to keep it to a minimum. Building a music studio on your computer takes up lots of space and lots of RAM. I am still looking for the best bang for our buck with a portable hard drive. This one comes with a 3 Year Warranty! Toshiba 320GB USB 2.0 Portable Hard Drive looks to be one that just might have the goods that I need in order to store all our music and pictures without the threat of losing any information. I would love some suggestions on the best ones and if you have this one, please do pass along the review.

Get FREE SHIPPING at Geeks.com – April 22-24 w/ code FREESHIP for qualifying orders over $49.99. This is great for people who, like me, add the price of shipping into the total price for the product and then try to find the lowest price overall. When shopping computers or items that need service plans, the plan price is also a huge factor. If I buy something from Geeks right now minus shipping, it comes out to be a way better price than most!

I think that the best way to do this is to get an online storage buddy as well as an external hard drive. We have been contemplating a number of models ourselves. The question is how much memory do you REALLY want to have in an external hard drive?

You could go for the small ones like the 320 gigabyte drive so you don’t end up with too much information on one drive. I have a habit of saving things to three or four different places just in case one messes up, so that might be my best bet.

Then there are the mega drives like the Western Digital 2TB My Book Essential USB 2.0 External Hard Drive, which gives you more memory than you could probably fill up in your lifetime…depending on what you put on the drive. We would be backing up pictures, movies, and music mostly. Those things take up a heap of memory. Terabytes might be the way to go when you look at a movie that takes up about 4 gigs on average.

Decisions, decisions. I would love to know about anyone else’s experience with external hard drives.
