What will you do with a 750-GB external hard drive?  

Dear friend,
I also would use it for storing the backup, may be songs collections, movies collections, may many other good games so on goes. At last it may become full and my computer may get slow or crashing with softwares. Any I could mainly use for games storing, other softwares,movies, songs, so on goes.

If I didn't have a backup drive, I'd use it for that. Since I've got my backups pretty well taken care of, I would use an extra 750GB drive for media: songs, home videos, TV shows. I prefer Seagate drives because they generally outlasted other brands that I have used. The one I have right now run very quietly also and that's a great thing if you're computer is anywhere near your bed!

it is said properly 'no space is enough space' so ur hardrive will fill soon

I'd probably plug it to our PC like a typical hard disk. Indeed, externals are convenient but, I think I wouldn't be going anywhere with it, considering the amount it is capable of. I'd be using simple flash disks for files that I need to carry along when I need to.

One thing though that concerns me is that if its not in partition, files are susceptible to viruses, especially when you plug it into other computers, like those at computer shops. Having it in partition, though doesn't certainly clear it from being infected by viruses, at least it wouldn't be entirely infected.

Just video files, disk images, photos, documents, like the typical hard disk indeed.

Any brand would do good, they all both serve the same purpose for me anyway.

for me.. i must make a several partitions and name them. Important Files, MUSIC, VIDEOS, MOVIES, PICTURES, P*RN, SOFTWARE, DRIVERS, UTILITIES, AND ETC.:d

That's so nice that you have such a large hard drive. In fact I need more space to store my files as I have quite a lot of them. I have burned so many DVDs to store my files. If I have such a hard drive, I will store my family's photos and videos inside. I will also store my software, games, movies, music etc. Maxtor is already a good brand.

I love China

that is a quite big of storage space.if i have that i no longer have to delete anything.even 80GB external hardisk is not enough for me right now.if i have that big hardisk i will keep on downloading lots of movies,tv dramas and games.i love to download things.

i could also back up all my software and documents in it if i reformat my laptop again.

I don't realy need external drives yet.
At the moment i've got 4x500gb seagate baracuda drives, they're pretty damn quick.
2 in raid1 and 2 in stripe.

well it is sure thing that all my movies will be there in the drive. and i will also make it a part of my backup system. i will start keeping my mails in it and also my client folder as i have a lot of stuff there. then also there are lot of songs on my drive waiting for the same

I would PUT ALL my files, etc. on my computer, for the simple fact that, if my computer ever needs a reformat, guess what, I still have all my songs,work etc. with me!
