^^NEED: Recommendations for hardware^^

[xxlking]

I'm in the market for an external hard drive for my laptop, as well as an external dvd burner. Does anybody have a recommendation for good brands and models that i can get for a fairly inexpensive price?

for the external harddrive, i was look at a maxtor drive 80gig product, but i'm open to suggestions, let me know something.....

YEA MAXTOR's external hard drives are pretty reliable, i own a couple of them myself....here is a link for a maxtor 250GB External Hard Drive. Its a one touch drive, and has a durable aluminum casing...its pretty durable....i got it and it works wonders for me.if ur not to sure of how legitimate the website it........THEY ARE VERY LEGITIMATE... i purchase parts from them all the time when im building computer for clients... (im a computer technician on the side)

this one is the IEEE1394 edition, commonly known as firewire....they have a USB one available as well...but i got the firewire edition....its faster

now as far as DVD burner. i would have to do a lil research, because im not too familiar which would be a good buy as far as EXT. DVD burners.



also here is a 100GB maxtor ext. hard drive. its a USB 2.0 interface

HEWLETT PACKARD!!!.....what are u crazy........IVE HAD NOTHING BUT back luck from them.......they burn out quick as hell.....HELL the only two hard drives i will fuck with from now on are SEAGATE INTERNALLY AND MAXTOR for external and travel use

For HD's I like Maxtor or WD, but Seagate is best internally if you want one of the larger drives (250+ G). For the dvd burner, I'm Sony fan, exp if its external. Most of the newer Sony drives handle all CD/DVD media, including dual layer

dont get a maxtor that sfor sure. im having to goto a data recovery place right now about one of them shits. i had it for bout a year and it fucks up a lot.

maxtor and seagate are the two best brands on the market...........WD has really fallen off in the last several years.......ive had to go through two of their drives this year alone.....
