I decide to go with an external after having Windows lockups which were unresolvable except to use the reinstall disk, wiping the C drive.
I can plug the external into any computer. I have:
160 GB external LaCie USB drive.
30 GB Western Digital from my legacy computer in a USB drive housing I bought from Compusa.
40 GB internal from my legacy computer
40 GB internal that came with the computer.
Since 2 of the drives have two partitions, with the 4 flash card slot, the CD-RW, the DVD-RW, I use up a LOT of drive letters.
I also have an external floppy drive.
What I love about buying an external drive housing is that you open the clamshell, plug the internal drive into the circuit board and power supply, and you have an instant portable drive. You can screw the drive in, or leave it unscrewed if you want to quick swap drives. This is great for recovering data from drives from crashed systems.
