hi guys,

my B-day is coming up soon and i would like to spend some of my B-day cash on an External HDD. i'm fine with what i got for my OS HDD but i'm running out of space with my 40GB HDD which is going out on me. i don't know how long it has as the STATUS on it is BAD. here's what i have...

320GB External

1TB External

my limit is only $80 (but can go $30 more) if need be

any other suggestions would be nice.

does it have to be external? you'll see better speeds on internal hardware..

my OS HDD is IDE and it's still running good. my plan was to just buy a External to back up all my Data. 1TB isn't all that necessary. look back it can be either Internal or External. 320GB/160GB would be fine.
