[QUOTE="Dave_W, post: 93178, member: 9521"] I have several old hard drives that I've turned into external-HD using an external box, works like a champ. However, I just bought another one of these (see [URL="http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00834SJU8/ref=ox_sc_sfl_title_8?ie=UTF8&smid=ATVPDKIKX0DER"]HERE [/URL]) and at $109 for 3Tb of space, it's cheaper than just buying the internal hard drive and adding it to my system. But if you do have a couple old hard drives laying around I would suggest buying a box and putting those babies to work. I'm now on my 3rd Seagate 3Tb, my first 2 were the "Back-up Plus" version that I believe are the same less the cheesey backup software that is included. But at $35 a Tb, you can't beat it. You know, I find it odd that I'm using disc drives that contain 3,000 Gb worth of space and needing more than one of them. I remember when 750 mbs seemed like an empty desert that stretched as far as the eye can see, now I'm buying my 3rd 3,000 Gb disc and hardly blinking an eye....crazy! [/QUOTE]
