[QUOTE="MrChris, post: 90017, member: 7584"] Hey there boys & girls!! Just a matter of opinion really, I have a 12" iBook G4 with a standard 30GB HDD. Dont get me wrong i love my iBook and think tis a great little machie. However, recently i have been doing a bit of the old video editing and have found that my HDD (of which i normally have about 15GB free) quickly fills up when i am importing DV files and editing etc... So... in the beginning i made myself a removable HDD using a standard 80GB HDD and an external housing kit. But i dont know what the problem with it is but it just doesnt like to work and is really un-reliable. Which i cannot have when storing important files! So anyways, i have thought about it and am looking at the following HDD: [URL=http://www.maxtor.com/portal/site/Maxtor/menuitem.ba88f6d7cf664718376049b291346068/?channelpath=/en_us/Products/External%20Hard%20Drives/OneTouch%20II%20Family/Maxtor%20OneTouch%20II%20FireWire%20and%20USB]Maxtor One Touch II USB/Firewire External HDD[/URL] The website i am looking to buy it from has it for approx £130 for the 200GB version. Do you guys think this is a good deal or can i get better for my money? Regards, Chris. [/QUOTE]
