[QUOTE="Brandon, post: 536994, member: 37101"] Well, an internal drive is of course convenient because it's in your computer and you don't have to carry the external box with you when you need it. An external drive can be larger capacity though, up to 1TB. But you have to plug it in via USB or Firewire to access it. I just have all the data that I don't need immediate access to backed up on my external drive, sitting on a desk at home, so I can connect it to my macbook when I need to. You should consider how much additional storage you need first. What size hard drive do you have? And how much additional storage do you think you'll need? I'm sure if you did a search on this forum, you would find a ton of info on what kind of drive would best suit your needs. [/QUOTE]
