I out grew the 110 so I got a 250. The models fit on the 250 but not the Photos and music so I got another 250. I then transferred music from CD's to my 250 and of course ran out of space so I got a 320. The models on the 250 have very little room for growth so I got another 320. The most expensive was the first 320 $119.00 at Best buy. These are all Western Digital.
Before that I had a 200 Maxtor that failed and a Western digital internal 200 that failed. The whole effort was to develop a backup that was less expensive and time consuming than DL-DVD's, 19 or so at a time, to back up my data. That was secure and more readily available. So now I have two backup copies of everything that is transportable to any windows based computer system. Jim James J. Hairston 8559 Birch Creek Rd.
