External hard drives?
I'm looking for an external hard drive with a storage capacity of more than 200 GB. All external hard drives which I've found so far that match these specifications use a separate AC adapter for power. I'm only interested in models which are fed power through an USB port. I have seen a 250 GB one in action before, but I cannot remember its brand, nor has Google been of any avail.
Any help would be greatly appreciated! |

Ah shit. NVM. Seagate.com says it comes with ac power adapter.
|
Many computers won't supply the power; you're best off just using the power adapter.

Im pretty sure you can just get a regular harddrive and hook it up with an external hard drive casing. Im sure it would be easier to find one of those with USB power.

Here's the best one I've found so far, but it's rather expensive:

Well what are you planning on storing on it? Just using it to back stuff up? 100 gigs seems like plenty to me.
|
Why is it you want one that doesn't plug in to the wall?
|
He might be using it for Picaroni. He did mention in the Picaroni thread about an external HDD.
|
Yes, but why couldn't he just... plug it into a wall?
|
I haven't the faintest idea. Maybe he doesn't have enough sockets to plug it into?
|
Yes, because that makes sense.
|
I'll be using it for Picaroni, so plugging it into the wall will be a possibility. It'd just be nice to be able to access the data without a separate transformer on a car trip. Also, I'm sure some AC acapter-using external hard drives are power hogs.
