Don't think I remember telling everyone this but last tuesday my 80gb hard drive finally ended up failing on me. Unfortanitly I had xp on it along with a few documents which I would of liked to have kept. I have a 160gb however so I instantly reinstalled xp on that and was back up. I also was very lucky to keep my music collection and other various items which I kept on my 160gb for this exact reason.

So with that said...i bought a new toy. Found it online for about 70 bucks...a 2.5" external hd. It's a 60gb seagate hd. Heres some pics for ya

Thing I love the most is that it doesn't require a power brick or anything. It's sorta cool. It takes up 2 usb connections which feeds the hd with plenty of power. So i'm truely able to go anywhere with it. Thought it was a sweet deal..Ur thoughts

Looks like we are goin to have a "whip out" session here soon. Well my 250s require a brick..boo hoo and they dont like to share across the internal network.

i can only use 1 usb if I choose..but the manual said that at times the hd won't get enough power and u will end up hearing some kind of clicking noise. I think any "clicking" sound is a bad sound so I havn't risked it and just plug in the 2 usb connectors instead of one. Supposably it does work with just one. I guess I'll have to test it out eventually

I have a Kingwin External Drive, I have a 20GB now in it. Supports up to 320GBs, I only use it to back up files and such. Hasn't failed me yet.

Do you really want me to spank you all with my storage stick?

Currently: 2x300 GB in RAID-0 (600GB volume), 1x160GB drive, 1x60GB drive

Just ordered: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16822148134

That is 1.57 Terabytes of storage.
