Here's a pic btw =D

Anyways, is this a good harddrive?

Btw, why do you need to connect the hd to a power outlet?
It isn't just plug in comp via usb?

Lastly, if you know any better, and somewhat cheap hds, feel free to post :p

I believe once it goes above 500GB you'll need to plug in into the mains.

Also Western Digital's never let me down, that's a good hard drive you should get it for sure.

You connect Desktop HardDrives to a Power Outlet as it supplies plenty more energy and increases the read/writing speed.
Yes that is actually the same HardDrive I have and it works great.

Its ok my friend says its ok but if u have the money buy a better one

Wait wut?

lol I'm confused what you mean :p

If you are looking to copy shit onto it you will notice it is INCREDIBLY fast and it can copy a movie in about 5 seconds over to it.
Else on another harddrive not powered by your outlet could take up to a minute to copy a movie onto it.

Oh sweet! That's cool! Is there any installation needed by any chance? :p

Depends really.. on WD drives there is a thing called Smartware which makes you type in a Password to access your Harddrive, but that's optional.

Western Digital Hard Drives are the best it wont let you down (but im not sure if that one comes with password protection)
