Alright I feel as though this thread has been very informative and full of options on how to choose the ideal hard drive for a pc , but I own a laptop.
Does this complicate the problems further if my meager 60gb(~45gb) can no longer handle much more memory?
I have been looking for a good-priced external HD for my laptop so that I can free up some space on my drive for only the essentials, and all the rest of my music, movies, etc. can be transferred to the external drive.
But the problem therein lies that I have heard that external HD can be quite expensive and of high-maintenance. After talking to some friends of mine, one offered the suggestion to just buy an internal hard-drive for the reason that they can be significantly cheaper and easier to maintain than their external counterparts.
My question is this: If it will benefit me economically, should I buy an internal HD for my laptop? Granted it must be of a higher memory capacity, I was thinking around 180~200gb, but I fear it will be difficult to install.
And what about the installed programs on my pc? How will I go about transferring those?
I would really appreciate any assistance and/or advice about my particular situation from those that feel they can be of some benefit to my woes. Thanks.
