I am looking for an external HDD (160GB+). Where do I get it from and what brand?

Thanks.

Here are some from 40 to 500GB I've never heard of Iomega or LaCie

Here is a Hitachi Which I think is the best HDD made.

If you get lucky, you might be able to get it from Best Buy and get a very nice Rebate to boot...

Here's a 250 GB HDD for $99 after rebate:

LaCie 250GB External USB 2.0 Hard Drive

wow those are some great deals Smile

You also might want to check out what newegg.com has to offerr as well
http://www.newegg.com/ProductSort/Subcategory.asp?N=2010150414&SubCate gory=414
click on where it says See All External Hard Drives you then can sort it to show cheapest to most expensive. You can also sort them vie brand and size.

Most times I find they have the best deal - but there as also been many times I get an even better deal from Best Buy

I find the rating reviews from customers on Newegg very helpful when I am looking for computer parts. Â Even if I find a better deal at Best Buy I check what others are saying about the product at Newegg.

good luck with your search!

Sometimes you can find a good deal at Fry's Electronics.
