I finally got all my photos together and it seems I have 110gigs of pics. I don't really want to store these all on my mpb. So it's time to buy an external hard drive. I don't really know much about them so I was hoping some of you guys could point me in the right direction. I'm looking to spend 150$ OR less. I'm looking for quality and storage capacity over speed.

Also is their a way to save the photos on the external and still be able to use iphoto as my main photo viewer?

Consider a Hard Drive Enclosure and purchase whatever size SATA Hdd you want. You can change the hdd and use as many as you want.

^^^Duane's idea is a really good one as well. it can be very cheap and you have the ability to switch out or upgrade the harddrive.

THIS is a perfect enclosure, affordable, with all the features (i assume) you need.


Browse www.newegg.com or let me know what size drive you want, and i will try to find one suitable for your price/needs.
