It doesn't make any difference whatsoever.

I would suggest a Maxtor or Seagate brand.\nCheck out Pricewatch.com for low prices.

i would go for Maxtor, Seagate or WesternDigi\nalmost same quality, but i think WesternDigi is the cheaper one..\n80Gb or 100Gb should be below 100$ with a normal casing

Check this Microcenter link for external HDD enclosures. You want USB 2.0 for a 2.5" HDD. Good Luck.\nhttp://www.microcenter.com/byos/byos_search_results_e.phtml?coordinate_group=HJ9B

and you have a double-male usb cable? anyway .. an external usb harddrive would be the best thing ... you can get a smaller one for under 50 bucks ...

you will most likely need to open both sides of the case. There should be 4 screws holding it in place. Remove these and all of the wires and the drive should slide out.

Go to the utilities folder ( press shift apple U) and select disk utility. You should see your mac HD in the left column. Highlight the drive and choose "mount" from the menus at the top.

I prefer Seagate (quieter and longer warranty, 5 years vs. 3). Of course, if you need to make use of the warranty on a hard drive, you're already in trouble.

Set the jumpers on the drive to master (this is for any drive, not just for a WD).  Plug the power into it then connect the drive via your controller (I trust you mean external controller) to a USB port.  It should work fine.  As an extra hint, you can also use the external setup with a laptop drive - good capacity and much smaller.

You can buy a box to stick the harddrive in and plug it into the usb or firewire port if you have one. You may have to give it a different drive letter designation though.

Using a pen/thumb drive is the most efficient way. They some in different capacities. You should get the one with the largest capacity if you plan to move huge files.\n\nNote: This suggestion is for data files only. You can never move O/S or system files or even programs.

If it's what I'm thinking, you can't see the drive in Disk Management.  Read this post on my technology blog and follow the DiskPart instructions.\n\nhttp://technologyexpert.blogspot.com/2005/11/adding-external-hard-drive-hard-way.html
