Thank you very much

Haven't girls been saying for years size doesn't matter ? Or does it and you have a good laugh behind our backs ?
Remember people Ebay is our friend
I feel like one of those hippies going around Love is happyness and the grass is gold Or something along those lines...
I've got about 6 external Hard Drive - every one is different
got 2 2.5 inch drives and Four 3.5 inch drives
Most were DIY ones where you buy a case for about £25 to £35 and put in your own drive - however overall the best so far was the Western Digital ones - quiet, they spin down when not in use, they stay cool at all times, and the come with software that allows you to turn off the drives in software which is useful.
Most of my drives if you used on a PC and the PC shut down the drives would keep on spinning which is annoying. Say for example you want to encode a DVD over night which may take 3 or 4 hours and then have the PC turn off, you'd want the External drive to turn off as well or at the least stop spinning all night long - very few did.
I paid £65 for a 250GB WD USB 2 Drive but think that was just a very good offer.
