Many of us are happily downloading music and snapping away with our digital cameras, while quietly in the background the hard disks of our computers are slowly filling up and slowing everything down. Time to get an external harddrive! For many people the thought of ripping open their PC to install a new internal drive is beyond the possible, so the thought of a USB plug-in device that looks great and stores mountains of music or pictures is very welcome.
