Is 500GB a lot of memory on a computer?




thedarkpri


i found a windows 7 desktop for $400, but i thought it would be $600 or something.... plus i found it at walmart and they have pretty low prices...


Answer
The 500GB your stating is NOT memory, but hard drive size. The memory (RAM) will be 1, 2 , 3 or 4GB. You want at least 2GB RAM (Memory).

500GB Hard drive space is plenty for most users.

is it ok for me to get a external desktop hard drive 500gb for my laptop?

or do i have to get a portable hard drive??


Answer
If you mean a external desktop hard drive as in the large ones that need a separate power supply an portable as in the smaller ones that are powered by only USB then it depends on your use for it.

If you're only going to use it to store stuff and keep them as back-up then an external desktop should be fine. If you're going to use it to store series and movies and you're going to keep moving it around and using it here and there then a portable would be better for its portability but a desktop one would be better as it is easier to cool off. If it bothers you to have a big HDD that needs its own power supply then go for portable. Otherwise, I would recommend a desktop hard drive as it is relatively cheaper, larger, and more efficient (it's cooler, doesn't get as hot as portable ones), Keep in mind a 500GB portable is usually the same price as a 1 TB desktop drive (double the capacity) if not a bit more expensive.

Note: Go for WD if you're to buy a hard disk of either type, they're the best. (WD = Western Digital)
