[QUOTE="jdc753, post: 3596401, member: 572078"] I would say go with 500GB at the prices they are these days. I pruchased a 500GB WD sata drive off Newegg.com about a year ago for $150 which was dirt cheap then and got a external enclosure for it. Shortly after picked up another 500GB cause I somehow filled the first one. Picked up these: Enclosure: [URL="http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817332012"]http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817332012[/URL] HD: [URL="http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16822136073"]http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16822136073[/URL] Just gotta make sure the enclosure you get will support the volume of the drive you buy, the cheaper ones won't support as big of a drive I think this is due to either power or cooling. Looks like you can get a 750GB drive for pretty much what I payed for my 500GB drive about a year ago. [/QUOTE]
