Can someone explain to me hard drive cases? I'm in the market and I might just grab that LaCie one, but how do the cases work? Do I buy a case and then buy an internal hard drive, and snap it together? Is it that easy? Or am I missing something?
- acescence0
it's that easy
- CincodeMayo0
But what if I'm not computer saavy? Like how do I know what drive goes with what casing or is it totally universal?

Do not buy one of these, it's crashed on me 2 X in 6 months! Fast as hell transfer, but POS:

I'm not sure what to get in it's place...heard shit about LaCie droves as well. Damn...

there are 3 drive sizes, 1.8, 2.5, 3.5 and basically a couple interfaces, IDE or SATA.
i suggest newegg for the best deals
http://www.newegg.com/it's super easy. you can call them and make sure it will work before you order if you're worried about f'ing it up.
as for the lacies, i had 4 of those d2s, and they all failed in under a year, they scare me.

likewise johnnyd- had several rockin' for years. they rule, IMO.
not trying to push these folks, but ALL hardware fails and there are horror stories about it. this is no different, but IMPersonalE these have been great.

I have 3 of them running 24/7, and never heard a thing from them.
Still back up as you should though!

if you read the reviews at tigerdirect and at amazon they are crazy mixed.
- designerror0
doesn't matter what harddrive you read about .. it's always mixed..
But people with broken things tend to scream more!
