Need an external hard drive
Any decent one you can recommend for cheap??
Or am I better off buying a separate harddrive and an external case?
I've been seeing lots of bigger capacity HD on fatwallet, but they're all SATA, do external harddrives support SATA??
My only requirement is usb2 connection, 100gig+, and somewhat of a good warranty, that's it. (I don't care fo noises or extremely fast data transfer)

I have this case with a seagate sata drive.
Very quiet! Does have a blue LED power button that stays on, but I have it wedged behind a speaker usually, so it doesn't bother me.

It was about the only good SATA external case with decent reviews on newegg when I bought it.

I like reading reviews on NewEgg. Some people are so stupid.
One guy complained because his more expensive case was thicker and quieter than this one. Someone else complained that you have to unscrew the case, and unscrew the hard drive to replace the hard drive.
Idiots..
