an internal HD will be better. iTunes can get confused if the drive holding the music is external. If for some reason the iPod is plugged in before the external drive is plugged in, you'll get an error. For general music storage to relieve a crowded drive, an internal will be better.
hi
i'm looking for some advise on what to buy my husband for christmas.
he wants an external hard drive to back up his itunes. we have a inspiron 6400 with 80g memory. he is filling up the hard drive with his music. i want to buy him some type of memory storage. i am looking at around 80-100g. can anyone help me choose the right one. i would like something simple to work with, something that will plug in and his music will come up and then he can update his ipod etc.
i was looking at the 250 GB 7200 RPM Silver Series from iomega at dell is this any good for what we need. i am looking to spend around $150.
thanks for any help.
