Went to Fry's today and picked up myself a 1T external hardrive for 110$. About a year ago i paid 100 dollars for a 500gb internal hardrive and had to spend another 20 for a case. This should last me a while

I haven't had an issue yet. After the initial format, it stays plugged in and gives me no trouble. Only bad thing I have heard is some say they have problems with the plugs becoming loose. I don't plan to plug and unplug mine often, so I'm not worried.

Hmm. Couldn't find the $18 link either, though Fry's has a 1TB SimpleTech drive for $86 currently: FRYS.com | SimpleTechnolgy

I can remember using the giga prefix in a humorous manner, as though a gigabyte was some unfathomably large number that was just too unrealistic to comprehend.

I can't recall my first computers storage. It was a early/mid 90's Compaq junk, so it was probably ~ 1gig. I can't recall things that far back. I remember playing Flight Sim 95 on it when it first came out and thinking I was flying a real plane. Graphics could never get any more advanced!

get that and two big drives and you'll feel a lot better than a single drive backup solution. I love mine... I have it sync my "my documents" nightly to back those up also. hell I just point my itunes to that drive instead of holding everything locally. I can share the library with multiple computers as "slaves" kinda.

I'd do that if I could afford it now. Hopefully the 2 600GB internal drives (both sharing mirrored data) and the 1TB external will keep me safe. Never thought I would have 1TB storage, let alone 2.2TB in a fairly budget minded desktop. Then I forgot I have 2 laptops playing backup duty as well as a netbook with at least my music library on it. I probably have 6 copies of data between all of my machines

I ended up with a 250gb Maxtor 2.5" drive. It took me about 2 hours of walking to the ready-rooms on the ship to have it filled to the brim with good ****. I was selective at what I copied... definitely nothing Hustler would be interested in.
