Computer Question

[indiana_j]

Since the internet at home is a bit eeeehhh, I've known that I need to invest in an external hard drive if I ever want to download new music again.

Basically, I'm looking at something that's big enough to store all of my music on it (over 3,000 songs, so not a whole lot) and be able to download other things onto it from the Eee so I can truck it back to the house and upload it to the main computer.

What size should I get and what brand is good?

Depends on the amount you want to spend. I brought a 1 terabyte drive recently for under $200 which just slots into any USB port and has an internal power source so doesn't need to be externally powered. It's about the size of my palm as well, so it's not bulky at all.

While I really like the idea of a self-powering, teeny one, a little under $200 is a bit much, even with all the money I'll be saving, sadly. My Eee was only $300 and change, after all. ;)
