Chosing an external hard drive
I want to pick up a USB2 external hard drive with a minimum of 250 gig and want to keep the price down! LOL
Is this AcomData E5_HybridDrive_320GB_Hard_Drive any good?
Any suggestions?
Thanks!

 I haven't the slightest idea; but, I do use this one; and, it's excellent:

+1 on buying an enclosure and putting a drive in it.

I have one Acom and one CompUSA unit (this one was a shell, I supplied the HDD). Both work just fine.
Buy whatever is cheapest and you'll be fine.

Thats a deal.. Its pretty incredible how cheap external drives have gotten. I'd only buy an enclosure, if you already have a drive you want to use(from an old system, etc..), or you get some smoking deal on an internal hard drive. If you have to buy both, its just as easy to just buy an external drive.
