I was once given an external harddrive.
It worked great untill I dried to defrag it one time... it grinded all night long and in the morning it didn't work at all. (It made a rattling noise, I think something inside broke because of the constant disk activity for such a long time)
Overall, it was disappointing, but keep in mind, this was a long time ago. I mean the thing hooked up to a freakin parallel port. I am sure a more modern USB one would be much faster and more reliable.
