I am using a homebuilt tongue.gif External Hard drive (usb 2.0)
80 gigs for backing up my movies and exchange them with my friends.

First I used for second os Suse 9.1 but from Usb it was unreilable.

Virtual Pc is rather slow and consuming the pc cpu power so much.

I recommend install a new hdd for a second os (Dual Boot or Tripple biggrin.gif )

Do you want to make an external hard drive yourself by using one of those USB/Firewire Enclosure Drives or do you want one that's already made an external on the store? I'm asking this because if cost is a factor, I recommend buying a enclosure drive and an internal hard drive to make your own external hard drive. Otherwise, you might be interested in this external hard drive by Western Digital. I'm personally not a Western Digital fan as I use mostly Maxtor and Seagate branded ones. If size is an issue, you might want to look for one of those smaller external hard drives, which can be expensive.

    and it looks good! But what do you guys think of it? Worth the money? Will I ever use the whole

  5. Read Errors With External Harddrive
    (6)
    So, I have an external Harddrive (Maxtor Personal Storage 3200 500GB) that seems to have some bad
    sectors. Windows can only read a few of the files on it, and linux is having trouble as well. I am
    currently running ddrescue in linux, but after only 45.6MB of a 20+GB file, I have 24 errors
    totalling 405kB. I think some of these issues may be due to low read speed since it is designed for
    USB 2.0 but is currently only connected to a USB 1.1 port. I was wondering if anyone knew of
    anything I could do to improve the readability of the drive (other than plug it into a USB....
  6. Macbook(pro) And External Displays
    Does it support more than one? (2)
    I've been considering buying a new computer and at the moments I'm leaning towards laptop
    and especially Macbook. I'd use my Macbook for graphics editing and web designing and I prefer
    much screen space. Two LCD screens would be the optimal choice. However Apple's website
    mentions that you can you external display and the Macbook's own display simultaneously , but
    nothing about using two screens with the lid shut. So does anyone know if there is a way to use
    Macbook or Macbook pro with two external screens. And I want to use DVI cabling for both.....

  8. Mad Dog Multimedia 16x3dvd Dvd External Burner
    Firewire/USB, Good Buy for a Mac (4)
    I have slowly had my CD-RW/DVD-R drive on my Mac PowerBook fail. It would read disks when it wanted
    to and basically gave up writing disks. So, since I cannot get my Mac Mini for at least several
    months, I looked for an external drive to replace it and figured I would get a DVD burner while I
    was at it. I found the Mad Dog Multimedia 16X3DVD, tripple format DVD-RW/RAM, retailing at about
    $100. This is actually one of a rapidly shrinking number of Firewire/USB 1.0/2.0 external drives.
    The PowerBook has USB 1.0 and Firewire ports, the Sony VAIO in the other room has the s....
