Advice needed regarding storing audio & video files
Okay-I wasn't certain where to post this.So,here it is.I' really VERY new to the issue of working with drives and I really need some help/advice with this.What I'm wanting to do is to transfer all of my movies and music to some sort of other drive.But,I really don't know what kind of drive to use.I've heard of "flash drives". Would this be the right thing for me ? Also,I came across a Western Digital 250 GB,external ,7200 RPM,3.5" hard drive on ebay for $10 ! I was thinking I could even do this ! It really sounds like a great deal.My question with this external hard drive is,does this drive need to stay plugged in all the time or,can I use it like a "flash drive" and just store what I want on it and just break it out whenever I need it ? If it helps-I'm running a Compaq Presario CQ57.I'll check back tomorrow for any advice.Much,MUCH thanks to anyone who chi,es in ! It's MUCH appreciated !!
