Right now 99% of External HDs are going to Firewire or E-SATA so with that being said bestbuy is clearancing out there older models. I got a simple drive 1TB for 60 bucks.

If you want portability then get something 500GB or less because anything more you will need a secondary power source.

Just curious what is the reason you are buying an x-HD?
I'm military and want all my movies and music in one place, for when i go TDY and on deployments. It gets boring sitting in hotel rooms/dorm rooms while away from home. So i figured if i can get a decent size external hard drive to keep everything on versus filling up my laptop hard drive.

Whats the benifit of connecting via firewire or e-sata? How do i know if i even have these connections on my lap top?
