External Hard Drive...

[cole world 22]

I need an external hard drive to backup all my files.

I probably have a maximum of 70 GB of files, so I don't see why I would need more than 200GB or so.

Where can I get a nice deal?

^ Thailand, actually. And yes, prices are expected to be 

 up until the Q3 2012, from what I've read. SSD's apparently are not affected and still expensive.

Goto Newegg or Bestbuy. Get a portable that way you dont have to deal with ac adapter and extra cords.

This man knows.
Got one 1.5TB external drive, one internal drive that I use with a hard drive docking station, and am waiting for prices to come back down so I can get another 2TB drive to keep at someone elses house.
If you don't have a lot of files I'd also invest in a cloud storage plan for some of your stuff.

Why? One might get stolen? Or might malfunction?

Can somebody recommend one for use on both Mac and PC?
I was talking to a guy at the Apple store and he said that brands like WD and Seagate weren't that great.  He recommended LaCie.

^format the drive to exFAT & you'll be able to read/write with OS X or Windows.

I got a Western Digital 1.5TB too for only like $120 at Best Buy. I only use it for my movies that I get and have it plugged to my Playstation 3. I am actually maxed out on that harddrive too and plan on getting a 3TB and moving my movies on there and then using the 1.5 for Time Machine on my iMac.
