Santa was kind, so I can manage $350-500 to FINALLY purchase a external hard
drive (I'm reluctant to go internal) for my basic SE. I'm looking for advice
from those who have had experience w/ hd's: purchasing, using, etc. Given that
price range, I seems to be in the 40-60mb range, tho I don't know if I can
trust a 60mb drive selling (as in MacUser ads) for under $500. Can I?
What recommendations do you have--models, vendors (is mail order o.k.?), size
(my wife plans to do modest DTP; I have a pile of stuff I've had to kick off
my std. 20mb drive), etc. It's too expensive a decision to leave to pure
chance, so I'd appreciate your help. Thanks!
