Hey guys,
I've noticed the external hard drive prices are INSANELY lower than what they used to be some years ago... and I WANT ONE!
Anywho, I'm primarily a seagate fan for internal hard drives, but I'm not really positive the external hard drive world is the same so here goes:
1) What brand is most favored for external hard disks?
2) Is 500 or 1,000 gig drives fast enough to stream music/videos to your PC?
a) Is USB 2.0 or eSATA the way to go?
3) Pre-made external enclosure or buy my own and mount it?
Well, I think that's really all I can ask for external hard drives unless someone disagrees.
Thanks in advanced for any replies!
