^^ i guess not

that is one reason i tend to stick with the cloud for backup of important data. there are a couple of services that can backup your entire set up for as low as 5 dollars a month. it is worth investing if you value your data. of course not a feasible option if the only content you worry about is your download collections.

not a big fan of external disks that requires a power adapter. you have to be very careful with them. i have already lost a 500GB unit.

What is the disadvantages in external power adapter? :huh:

FInally i bought 500GB Seagate External Hard disc for Rs. 3600/-. USB 2.0 plug and play, no need any power supply for this device, we can use it like Pen Drive.

Sorry, i could not understand ur question... :huh:

some external drives are actually two disks in one enclosure. so you see two individual drives instead of one. i guess you got a single 500GB disk. multiple disks usually requires an external power adapter.
