|
|
I'm running out of space on both my laptop and WD passport external HDD. I'm just looking for some advice on which HDD to buy and what sort of prices I can expect in Seoul.
My laptop has two 60gb drives and I'm considering replacing the one that just has media and documents. Never done that before so have no idea if it's easy or not and how I would be sure I wasn't replacing the drive that has all the important stuff on it, like Vista and program files.
I have an ACER Aspire 5685WLMi. No idea if it will accept SATA drives.
Or perhaps I should get another portable disk. Any recommendations for a non-mains disk? |

I just bought two external hard drives, a 1.5TB Seagate and a 1TB Western Digital. |

I use Samsungs (2.5 terabytes), Lacie and WD, Seagate have had higher failure rates...big name though, but recently Samsungs have proven good for me. |

I agree. I just recently had my HD fail in my Macbook so I went down to yongsan to buy a new one. Original one was 140 gigs or something, after it failed I had an excuse to upgrade to 320 gigs 7200 RPM for 115,000 won.
I hate having to plug and unplug externals. |
