Hello: your name "haas" means hare in Dutch. "Mijn naam is haas" means "I do not know"
Do not buy an external drive in a plastic case! I tripped over the wire and broke the connection. Stupid grandpa!! Now it is useless! My advice: buy a loose 2,5 or 3,5 inch hard drive 500 Gb to start with. Buy an enclosure to put the hard drive in. *When you want to upgrade you can buy a hard drive with more capacity. And you have the option to keep or sell your old hard disk.* But you can reuse your enclosure!! Western Digital Caviar is OK. Try a website that compare hard disks. In the Netherlands we have vergelijk.nl (translation "compare".nl) Good luck. ======================================= On Wed, Oct 26, 2011 at 6:15 AM, <peterh...@cruzio.com> wrote: > > > Anyone care to make recommendations for an external hard drive? 500GB > > to 700GB's, is cost any indication of quality?Need only for back up, > > speed is not a factor, nor is Firewire important.
