Hello,
I'm looking for an external hard drive that does not need to be plugged in to an AC socket so only needs to be plugged in to the computer/laptop USB to act as an external hard drive. I need it to be around 500GB in size.
If anyone knows of any or can recommend any that'd be great.
Thanks very much. I will +rep.
WD make awesome drives, I've ordered one of those for Christmas, I'll let you know how I get on with it. :)Quote:

Thank you, +rep to both of you.
Any other suggestions before I buy the western digital? That's the only make out of those that I've heard of and I also know them to be good, + the positive feedback in this thread.
Well, i personally don't like Western Digital and would recommend one of the others linked over a WD drive. Not sure on what brand of drives the Buffalo use in their drives though.
Desktop External Hard drives - require power through AC
Portable - Don't require AC from what i've seen :P
yh i suggest Western Digital
I've got a 160GB Portable one and a 500GB Desktop one never let me down.
2.5" external hard drives typically are the ones which don't require external power.Quote:
