Question About External Media Hard Drives for HP?
Question by Corey N: Question About External Media Hard Drives for HP?
So my HP (HP Pavilion Elite) sounds like it is on death’s door. Something is wrong with it and I’m going to send it in to get fixed but I have a large amount of music, movies and documents I want to save before I send it to get repaired. Last time they said everything would be fine and my computer got wiped, so I am taking no chances.
I don’t know anything about computers, all I know is on the front of my computer is says “Media Drive Bay” which is for a portable media drive that I can load all of my media files/documents onto and not have to worry.
What are some good brands that you would suggest that are compatible with an HP.

Blah bad enough computers crap. I would never purchase one of their drive bays.
Get this it hooks up by USB and is accessed through your computer. Then all you need to do is drag and drop files you want to keep.

After you get laptop back you may want to list it on Ebay or Craigslist and buy a Toshiba. As I can 100% guarantee it will have another p[problem.

Hi,
Listen you don’t need to think to about brands just go to market and buy 1 external hard drive for USB and after that u just need to plug in through your laptop USB port and just copy and paste into it your all data will save in external hard drive and its not so expensive as well.
If you want to use an external hard drive to save your media files to, I’m pretty sure that all hard drive manufacturers make them. they are very easy to use, most are simply plug and play. They install their own drivers when they are plugged in automatically.
Western Digital, Seagate, Toshiba, ect all make them, and they all are very reliable, and easy to use. Not to mention, they are quite inexpensive. A 2 terabyte drive can cost as low as $ 94.00. This makes them a very good deal. it’s best to save all your media files directly to them, after you get one. you can access the files in “My Computer” in Windows platforms. I don’t know the formats for Mac or Linux, but I’m sure that they are equally simple.
I hope this helps you out. Good luck, & have fun with your files!
