I have been looking for one to back up all my pictures and music and dell has one on sale for $70. It is 500 GB which seem reasonable.
It says it is a portable hard drive is there anything different from an external hard drive? I'm assuming portable ones might be a bit smaller, perhaps designed to be sleeker or look cool but am I paying a premium for portable? It isn't like other external hard drives can't be taken somewhere.
Whats different between portable and external HD?
Theoretically, there's nothing that prevents you from having an external hard disk the size of a garbage truck. That wouldn't be portable.
But yeah, I've always thought they were the same. I assume electronics adverts are written by people who've failed at anything worthwhile in life, so I don't expect consistency.

What I would like is less space for a cheaper price. Right now to backup all my stuff I need 30GBs and that number would be less if I went through my music and got rid of the songs I don't want.Cakedaddy wrote:I just saw a 1TB for $75. May have been buy.com. Just saying you might be able to get more space for that price range.
Oh, and FUCK Dell.
