Even though hard drive technology and reliability have greatly improved I personally don't like really big, like 1TB, hard drives because if you lose it you've lost a lot.   I prefer smaller drives even if it means two or three. 

If I was buying a 1T drive I would buy two and set them up in a raid configuration.

That's my two cents.....

I am  thinking about getting an external hard drive for storage and have been told that 1TB is probably way to large.  I've also been told that getting one with it's own power supply would be a good idea. 

Does anyone have any suggestions as to what would be good?  I wouldn't mind 1 TB as it would supply quite a bit of storage for a while.
 
Also, any suggestions as to where to read up on the external hard drives would be greatly appreciated.  Really, anything that would point me in the right direction would be greatly appreciated.  One person has said he only uses Western Digital but some of the other brands I've seen look enticing as well.  Sorry to put this to the list but I really have no one else to ask.  Thank you ahead of time for any tidbit of information.  :) Linda B.
