Need More Hard drive space.

Alright my computer has a 320GB hardrive and i need more space. I have about 8gb of space left and half my games on steam aren't even installed. I was wondering should i get a External or a Internal Hard drive? I was thinking an internal hard drive because alot of my space has to do with movies and music which can be put on a internal.

But an internal HDD is much more cost and performance effective.

Or you can get an external enclosure for an internal HDD. I thought I saw Newegg having 1T drives on sale around $60 this weekend.

If i get a 1TB HDD or anything like that, do you guys recommend any particular ones and would there be any programming or any type or anything other than plug and use that i'd have to do?

And if you get an extetrnal HDD enclosure - Ur still limited to the speed of USB. So instead of moving a 4gig file from 1internal HDDto another - which would take only a couple minutes - Transferring those same file to an external HDD will take 3times as long..

Anyone care to give me the reasons why i should get a external vs a internal and vice versa. Like the pros and cons. Although portability sounds great i probably would never use it except maybe for transporting movies around.RedxSniper

I would just go with an internal 1 TB drive. I have the Samsung F3 and it's marvelous. Duckman5

+1 i have two of these and they are quick.

You may want to consider partitioning it.
