External HD

Post by krusty » Tue Mar 16, 2010 8:19 pm

I dont know if this is the right place to post this, but.... Anyone know where I can pick up an external hard drive for a reasonable price?
I'm starting to have ram issues ;( and it's playing havoc all over my system. (Damn painting and graphics...who taught me about that...)
I'm wanting to put my paint programe and alot of other sh.... stuff on there and free up the main hard drive.

Am I on the right track doing this?
Any advice (as long as it's good) would help me out heaps :cool:

You can get a 500GB HDD for under $200 now which 2-3years ago I brought my Western Digital 360GB one (that requires a power plug) for around $180. Needless to say never had trouble with it. I am currently running quite a few programs from my external HDD including rfactor and run's no sweat at all. Very handy at LAN's too!
