Case Logic External Hard Drive Case storage drive carrying case

Advantages: plenty of drive bays, and excellent cooling
Disadvantages: mother board tray isn't removable, and component installation isn't tooless

...The Antec nine hundred gaming case is a great case for anyone who perhaps has a confident amount of knowledge, to build there own desktop computer. It has many drive bays that can be configured to your personal preference, this is possible as the internal 3.5 inch drive bay cages are removable and can be repositioned, also each drive bay cage can house up to 3 hard drives. There are three different drive bay setups: 3 external drive bays - 6 internal drive bays 6 external drive bays - 3 internal drive bays 9 external drive bays Each drive bay has plenty of ventilation, and each hard drive cage has a blue L.E.D fan included to cool the hard drives.

Advantages: Easy way to add storage
Disadvantages: More expensive than internal drives

...Having realised that on both of my internal drives had only a couple of gigs of storage free each, I realised that it was time to get an additional drive.

...The LaCie Rugged All-Terrain External 250 hard-drive is a portable storage device which will allow you to store 250gb of multimedia files such as pictures, music and video. You will obviously also be able to hold documents and other files as well (e.g. software installations). Measuring at 9 cm wide, 14.5 cm long, 2.5 cm in height and weighing just 250 grams, making the LaCie external hard-drive very light as well as portable. The hard-drive is portable in the way that it is very light, the only thing you have to take into account is that you will require a medium to large sized pocket or any form of bag in order to carry the device. You could always opt to just carrying it around in your hand, which is not very practical in everyday life. All external and internal hard-drives state a certain amount of memory capacity, but in fact... Read review
