yes, this is good advice. I would recommend doing this to save some money and get as much space as possible.
Another great place to look a HDDs is www.newegg.com they have great deals on internal and external drives (as well as enclosures if you go with an bare drive) I stick to the major manufacturers like Seagate, Western Digital, Hitachi (people argue brand a lot but they all have good drives and not as good). I have three external enclosures, all different off brand makes and none give me any trouble; but I'm sure I'm just lucky so far with those. -Lan www.LanBui.com -------------------- On Jan 12, 2007, at 7:18 PM, David Howell wrote: You will pay less if you buy an internal hard drive and a external firewire drive case. Just pop open the case and install the HD into it. Your basic 7200 RPM drive will do the job. Actually, since you are in Minneapolis, try going to Microcenter. This drive, http://www.microcenter.com/byos/byos_single_product_results.phtml? product_id=213194 should do you fine. Here is a firewire drive enclosure, http://www.microcenter.com/byos/byos_single_product_results.phtml? product_id=241812 Hope those links work.
