Im about to buy an external hard drive for my iMac and have a couple of questions:
Im considering portable but cant find one bigger than 80gb, are there any bigger without being super pricey.
I would prefer a non-portable due to size and cost but will be moving from the UK to North America which uses a different power supply, would this mean I cant use a UK hard drive there or can I just swap the power lead.
Would a none portable dard drive be more fragile during transport, I heard that the portable drives have a head which moves from the disc to keep it a bit safer.
