i need to get another external HD to store a bunch of videos and stuff on. I dont need it for backup i need it to actually store some movies and anime and stuff. I looked around and asked around and most people seemed to say western digital made decent external HD's. Some people said best bet is to make one myself but i have no desire to do that i just want to go out and buy something
the question is im confused on WD's versions. I thought i wanted their My book essential but theres like 2 versions out there
same price. Can someoe fill me in on the difference between these? is one an older model or something? hell should i just look at the elements?
also, side question. I dont want any auto backup software. If i wanted to get rid of it should i just delete all the files on the HD or do i have to reformat it?
*edit* reading some revies it seems like maybe the WDBAAF0010HBK my book essential has manual backup software you cant remove? is this true?

ya i think im gonna go with one of their elements lines actually those have no software.. been hearing decent things about the sammy storystations though not sure which to go with
I bought a WD EHD 120 gigs about 4 years ago & it has done the job well. Although it's just gone tits up today & I have lost all my photo's movies...etc.
