1. USB.
2. 500 GB.
3. Reliable.
4. Not Shit.
5. Reasonably priced.
6. Reasonably sized(as in won't cover my whole goddamn desk).
7. A carrying case would help but is not required.
8. Portability is a must.
9. NOT SHIT.

Most are around $100 which is fucking awesome for 500GB.


Also you guys weren't quick enough and I needed to order today so thread's over.

Over here, we have no decent computers that cost 100$, or in this case â,¬.

I have the My Book Essential Edition. It holds 160 GB, but a 500 GB and 1 TB version is available. Not sure about the price, but it is fairly small and works well.

I reckon you could buy an empty IDE or SATA enclosure, and then buy a drive to put in it.  Then you can progressively move to bigger drives.

I got this, sacrificed portability a bit. I have a backpack, no big deal.

Oh I guess I was too late. I was going to suggest you get the one I got. http://www.grassrootscomputers.com/Western_Digital_500GB_eSATA_USB/WDG1SU5000N_RECF/partinfo-id-347679.html

It's pretty cheap and it gets there quickly.

Now that I think of it, I was shopping for external drives one year ago and paying $70 for a 160GB FreeAgent Go (the 2.5 size) was as a good a deal as I could get.  Now it's not worth as much.

back in the day I payed 60 dollurs for a 264 mb usb stick. I got an 8 gb one a while ago for less than I bought the 264 for.
