External HardDrive Advice Needed

[Koolpc]

I am after an external Hard drive around 40g in size as i need it to transfer data to different PC's all of the time. Been looking at a couple as i need it to be small and USB powered. Which one do you recommend:


Western Digital 40g Passport
Seagate Momentus 40g
LaCie Mobile, 40GB 2.5" USB 2.0 Hard Drive

These are small and USB powered. Anyone used / got one of these or can recommend a different one?

Thanks

Get a notebook HDD and stick that into a small enclosure.. voila..

I have one and it works like a charm..

You can get both from Scan.. and they're as easy as piss to install..

Oh yea Koolpc, the fan came today.. sitting in the office now.. I'll have it tested tonight.

It works well for me and is possibly cheaper and more flexible than a prebuilt one
