A couple External Hard Drive questions

Primex · 07-05-2006, 08:42 PM

I saw a deal for an external Hard Drive that would be really practical, but I'm clueless as to what I should get. The specs for the drive is:
- Hi-Speed USB 2.0
- Horizontal or vertical placement
- Fanless design
- 7200 RPM
- 8 or 2 MB cache1
- Stackable
- On-Off switch
- Mac & PC ready
- 160 GB
Price- $29.99 (One day sale at Comp USA on Thursday)

Is this a good deal? Also, does my computer have to be 7200 RPM? Mine is only 5200 RPM and I don't know if it would still be compatible. I'm basically trying to clear out some space from my laptop and desktop from all the videos and files I've uploaded.
