I looking to buy an external hard drive to backup (not archive) my laptop.
It has USB 2.0. I am looking for a desktop solution, i.e., don't need nor
want to pay for portable powered USB drives. Capacity 80GB to 160GB range.
Any recommendations and/or condemnations?


I have a few. I use them for backups.

The most recent one I got was from Fry's. I bought a 300 GB (that's using
the "new" term for GB) drive and a Linksys enclosure for around $120
combined.

I ended up formatting it with FAT32.

When doing a backup of my laptop or my desktops, I noticed I'm getting very
fast speeds.
