THE GOOD N
After you install it, can you download (movies etc) directly to it or do you download to your internal hard drive and then copy to the external?
are downloads going to be slower if you download directly to the external as opposed to the internal hard drive?
Answer
Hi Leesmith,
External Hard Drives work like all Hard Drives, treat it just like another drive on your computer. Downloading directly into your external hard drive works exactly the same as downloading into any of your internal hard drives.
The process of downloading in your case would be Internet --> (download speed) --> Computer --> (pc system/USB speed) --> External Hard Drive
Downloading speed is affected by your internet connection and will only play a part when the file transfers from the internet to your computer.

External Hard Drives?

Hey,
I need a external hard drive in order to free up some space on my laptop. I don't have any clue about them, are they all similar but just have different sizes and could you give me all the information i need to know about buying one.
Thanks

External hard drives are very popular and fortunately selling for good prices now. You can get a 1 TB drive for $100 or less right now at places like: tigerdirect.com or newegg.com.
They are making them much smaller now using 21/2" laptop hard drives instead of larger desktop types. The advantage of the smaller drive is portability - however I have seen many a small hard made useless by the small USB plugin in it getting pushed in.
Sizes for external hard drives range in size from 160 GB - 2TB. You would probably want a 1 TB drive.I personally favor Western Digital.
There are 3.0 USB high speed drives available but will not be faster for you unless your computer supports USB 3.0.
