External Hard Drive/Memory
    #13326014 -

I need more memory on my laptop's hard-drive.  I have been binging on music torrents and now I'm almost out of memory.  Should I buy an external hard-drive?  How much does a good one cost, and what's the range of GBs of memory I could get?

Someone mentioned adding more memory to my laptop's harddrive without buying an external drive.  Is this feasible?  I'm not tech savvy at all.

Thanks in advance for your responses.  :cheers:

I will not fear my passions like a coward.
My body I will give to pleasures,
to diversions that I’ve dreamed of,
to the most daring erotic desires,
to the lustful impulses of my blood, without
any fear at all, for whenever I will—
and I will have the will, strengthened
as I’ll be with contemplation and study—
at the crucial moments I’ll recover
my spirit as was before: ascetic.”

Get an external HD, You can get them from 250GB to 1-2 TB.

I have a 500 GB and it's lasted about 1 1/2 years of downloading and still has a little space left

If you want to plan ahead a bit, drop money on a 1TB, you can get them for under 100$

I'd get a flash drive.

They are available in the same capacities, and they do not have platters which are subject to damage (and eventual failure) from vibration (e.g. transporting).

I'm probably not nearly as advanced as most of the "tech heads" here but will throw in my $0.02.

I bought a Western Digital "passport" external, portable HD.

Its about as simple as it gets:  No power source needed, plug n play, drag and drop.  I can plug it into any computer through USB, and just drag and drop what I need.  Works like a charm and hasn't failed me in the two years I've had it.  I got 400gb. 

There is a terabyte drive for $129 at best buy.

2TB for only 170!

Well worth it for the extra 1000 GB. Once you start on a torrent binge it doesn't tend to stop!!! I just finished downloading a torrent of 280 gigs of movies lol and I keep downloading more every day. I've filled 2 500gb drives and working on a 750 atm...Wish I had the 2TB right now.

If you only want 1TB here's a pretty good looking one:

I think it's about time for me to step up and buy a 1TB. I would like to backup everything that's on the 500GB, plus extra space.
