THIS IS WHAT U NEED MY FRIEND
an affordable USB 2.0 external 160Gbyte Disk Drive
Do you want a portable disk drive that holds a MASSIVE 160Gb of data? Now you can do it with an affordable external solid aluminium USB 2.0 disk drive, with the fast Maxtor DiamondMax Plus 9 160G (7200rpm) disk.
Prior to shipping we fully format the disk (as a single NTFS partition) guaranteeing that you can plug in the disk and use it within seconds.
This disk case is made from solid aluminium so both sides dissipate the heat and allow these new high-speed 7200rpm disks to be used intensely for extended periods without overheating. (*** see info below)
If you want the disk partitioned into multiple drives, or different formats (e.g. for Win98/Me), then let us know, and we will do it for a £5 charge prior to shipment.
The disk has great performance, faster than many internal disks. Even though its an external disk, on an ordinary Athlon 1700 PC with a USB2 PCI card it has 16.9 MBytes/s read and 16.6 Mbytes/s write performance.
Whether you want the disk to capture over 9 hours of broadcast quality DV Video, or as a massive disk for data or backups, this disk will do the job without breaking a sweat.
The postage charge of £6.50 for Royal Mail "Special Delivery" provides full insurance and a guarantee of delivery the next day by 12 noon. You will need to be present to receive the mail.
Hardware:
USB 2.0 enclosure containing Maxtor DiamondMax Plus 9 160G Disk.
Pre-formatted and ready to use. (The NTFS format needs Windows 2000 or Windows XP. Contact us if you will be using the disk with Windows 98/Me)
Aluminium top and bottom faces (with superior heat dissipation).
Stand to hold the disk on its side.
UK Mains power adaptor.
USB 2.0 Data lead, approx 1m.

See Disk Specification
Data transfer rate:
USB 2.0 limit is 480 MBytes/s
The actual transfer rate through USB 2.0 is limited by the speed of the computer and disk. A typical PC (based on an Athlon 1700XP) has performance figures as shown below:
16.9 Mb/s read
16.6 Mb/s write
Dimensions: 216 x 122 x 33 (LxWxH, mm)
Operating System: Win 98SE, ME, 2000, XP
*** Heat Dissipation:
We have intensely soak-tested these disks by performing 8 hours of continual Read/Write access, at room temperature with no forced-air cooling. After this the hottest point on the disk drive's surface was 41°C, well within the specified maximum temperature allowed by the manufacturer of 55°C.
If you see other external disks on eBay please ask the seller what temperature the disk reaches after intensive use. We have seen the very hot IBM GXP disks sold in enclosures, which we know from experience tend to overheat.

) but, thanks for all the info ppl! I may just order that 160 gig external. 230$ is pretty cheap for an external of that quality, so i think that is just what i may do.
