Getrag Posted March 30, 2006 Share Posted March 30, 2006 Hey folks, where do you advise for these external H-drives that just plug into your usb port. Obviously the bigger and cheaper the better. And are they very simple to run, just plug into usb port and go? Cheers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
