Thinking of buying an external hard drive

[Solid Runner]

I need an external hard drive with 200GB max capacity which I can use for mostly backing up my files, and storing videos. I found this...

...and I'm wondering if Seagate is a good brand. If any of you guys know of a better product, I'd appreciate it if you inform me.

Bad link.

Seagate is a good company, my drives are made by them and I haven't had any problems. For external drives buy an enclosure and an internal drive, it will be much cheaper and you can get a lot more storage capacity.

Link works for me, don't know why you can't see it.

And the reason I wanted to get a ready built external drive is because I haven't had much experience with building my own stuff and the fact that most of the external drive which can be bought now have a way for you to program them to backup your info regularly with a schedule.

Yeah, Seagate makes really good drives. You should be happy with it.
