External hard drive- how to pick one and install it.
I have a Dell Inspiron 530 which I just upgraded the OS to Windows 7. Seems that the internal hard drive is almost full (I plan on doing some deleting of photos once I have copied them safely elsewhere) and a friend has suggested adding an external HD. I will probably use it primarily for photos...not professional pics.
I'm looking for some guidance as to size and brand of drive and suggestions as to where to buy it. I will order online.
I've been reading some of the posts here and see SATA mentioned. I have Windows 7 for Dummies and don't see info on SATA in the index. Is SATA involved when the drive is attached externally?
I just found this on BizRate: http://www.backupworks.com/imation-rdx-160GB-26607.aspx
Thanks for any suggestions.
