External Hard Drive

esuhl

Beware of cheap hard drive caddies! I bought a (supposedly) aluminium caddy on eBay with a built-in 80mm fan. It killed my hard drive and I burnt (and lacerated) myself on the case when I opened it.

I would not buy the caddies even tho they are cheaper. The one I had broke after about month there are lots of cheap prices on external hard drive at the moment.

This is the one I plan on buying soon

That's a 3.5" drive though, and it requires external power (supplied with power adapter).
The 2.5" ones are more expensive, but more portable. They generally don't need external power and are powered from the usb port you plug them into.
