basically in the next month I'm going for a 1tb external as I now have a laptop and no rig and the idea of being able to sling the external in the backpack with it and take such a large amount of data with me would be ideal...
so what i'm wondering is which?
don't want to spend silly money like 140 or less? quite like the look of the freecom silver one with the little detachable black L shape stand... was on scan but theres a couple of models of this so i wouldnt have a preference...
I'm really unsure on speeds etc as surely no matter how fast it is it's still limited by usb2.0 isn't it.or firewire... that's another thing I'm unsure of... firewire or usb... I like the factor of being able to plug it into any pc with a usb port.but at the same time firewire is faster but not that noticeable surely? i have a mini firewire on the lappy and 4 usb2.0's so usb isn't a problem either... but would the mini firewire work i have a feeling it won't...
so yeah what 1tb external and do i want usb2.0 or firewire if really worth it... it will be storing everything and everything really. I think usb makes more sense compatability wise.
uk links please and opinions on the freecom aswell would be nice. preferably from scan seeing as free delivery...
thanks alot people
