USB Harddrives

I don't think I'll ever fill 120gb.  I would have bought an 80gb, but 80gb would have been more expensive under the circumstances.  500gb is expensive and most of the space would be worthless to me.

I didn't think I'd fill 120 GB any time soon when I went from 20 to 120, but it was full after about a month.

I figure I'll fill it quick, but I'll start cycling content.  Like, I'll burn movies/delete them, uninstall games I don't play, etc.

Haha, maybe it'll work for you. I tend to install lots of games and download lots of movies, and then I don't finish playing/watching them before downloading the next. I did clean up 20 gigs recently, but that involved several hours of recording cd-r's.

That brings me to this question: Is there any good cd recording application that allows you to make a job queue? Something like how in say gordian knot you can set one movie encoding, meanwhile preparing the next one and queuing it up?

Also, I am planning on getting a dvd burner, but I'm not sure whether I'll get internal or external yet.. it depends on the price.  That'll help, too, since I won't need to have movies on my drive forever.

iago, you have a "Factory Direct" store around you? They constantly have sales for things like that, for dirt cheap prices.

[iago]

I got it at Best Buy.  Hardly factory direct.

Try to find one, it's honestly the best store in Canada you can buy from... I think the website is www.factorydirect.ca

I just checked my bios settings, and it was listed in "boot order" as a bootable device.  I'm going to try installing an Operating System on it and try out that feature.
