Well thanks for the links etc, I know I will be going with either Seagate or WD in a 250 and a 500. Which should hold me down for another few years.
Obviously HDD's are just getting bigger and cheaper as time goes on, I remember when I got these original two, my 250gb was in the $150.00 range.
The only other question I had was that some friends of mine were just suggesting that I get an external Hard Drive for the time being and keep the two that I have for now. IMO though I know that an external drive could fail as well and I would lose all my data etc. but is there a brand that you guys would suggest for an external HDD, or are they really not worth it? In my mind its better to have good internal HDD's and then back up the most important stuff on DVD's and Flashdrives.
