I ask because I am in the market for an external hard drive.

The faster the disk turns the less time waiting for disk to turn to where data is waiting. With an external drive it may not be as important as the throughput could be limited by the interface used.

Check the link below.  I like Seagate and Western Digital.

Yes, those items are useful for doing the task you are performing (and they are all the same thing, simply named differently).  The price will vary depending on location (I would check websites of nearby computer stores to check for sales, since those items are often on sale).  The size is dependant upon what you are transfering.  If you want to transfer a large amount of data, or large items (such as movies or songs), then you might want to get a 1 GB or larger drive.  If you are only transferring some documents, a smaller one will suffice.

You might be interested in Xdrive.  See link in sources. Regards.

Yes you can. Does it have anything illegal on it? You might want to delete those first!\nBut: the data will still work, the applications will still work, and the drive should survive the trip. Just be sure to pack it in something soft - a roll of socks maybe?

If you get a USB external HD of lets say 200gig you could partition it as two separate drives.\n\nHard drive Prices\nhttp://www.nextag.com/usb-powered-external-hard-drives/search-html?nxtg=244c0a1c0525-699B541887093E76\n\nPartition Info.\nhttp://freepctech.com/pc/001/001.shtml\n\nPS If you buy a HD the manual will have info. on how too do what you are looking for too.\n\nGood Luck :)

An external hard drive? Not really. Dont drop it on the floor. Dont pour a glass of Coke on top of it. That's about it.

I'm assuming you mean your harddrive capacity, How much storage you have for space? This is different then RAM. \n\n\nIf you are talking about hard drives, then you can buy a 300GB hard drive for around 100$, and a 120GB hard drive for about 40$.\n\nAfter you buy it, they are fairly simple to install. Take off your case cover, touch the back of the case to ground yourself. then set the hard drive in the slot for it in your case. and plug the power cord and the one IDE cable(or SATA depending on your computer) and you should be set. When you start windows you can go to my computer and another hard drive will come up probably as letter D replacing your CD drive, unless you currently have a secondary harddrive or partition. IF you want everything on your new harddrive, then you will have to install windows directly on it.\n\n\nIt seems like you might end up needing more help then just this, I would suggest signing up at a Computer/Tech forum and asking, since you can reply in the topic and get easier help then asking a new question each time. My favorite would be xTechForum.com(hence my name) it's a smaller more community based forum, but it's still extremely helpful, but if you want a large one, you can try tech-forums.net

I think they are called a portable hard drive.

You could use an external hard disk drive to backup data before sending your laptop for repair... It would not necessarily be an added cost as the drive could be used as and when you want in the long run... very useful...
