Hi all,
I currently only have 1x 160Gig HDD on my Compaq computer with 512 ram, AMD processor 3 ghz etc etc I bought in jan this year. I have quite a lot of music / dvd files (very big approx 5 gig each) and only have about 10gb left. This means that virus scans through McAfee and programs like Spybot / Adware are very very slow.
I dont know wheter to get an internal or external HDD. I have fitted an internal sound card but not sure if I would be able to fit a new HDD. As I bought it from PC World and have a 5 yr guarentee should I buy one from them and get them to fit it ?? Im sure it will be a little more expensive but maybe less hassle ??
Also I was then thinking of having one HDD for music / dvds and one for everything else. Would it be better to have an external HDD like Seagate Pushbutton Backup 300GB External Firewire/USB 2.0 8MB (http://www.overclockers.co.uk/acatalog/Seagate.html) as I could then save all my files to this and then it should slow down my computer ???
Im sorry as I dont know a great deal about this stuff and appreciate any comments.
Cheers
