   wow I mean I don't think a person can actually use up that much space on a hard drive!!!!!! geez, thats alot of space!!!! however, having a big hard drive like that, will make your PC much faster, and load things better.

   Sounds lke a nice little gizmo to take on the road with your laptop. You could store a lot of whatever on there for those long road trips.

   And again, Western digital, 120GB for $200. Not bad. USB port? external ? Rrally not bad. I could use one of those. Of course i would need to buy a new laptop first.

Most people won't try to run programs for it, but even for data streaming.....movies and such....it should be just dandy. I'd buy one in a heartbeat if I needed it.
