can someone recommend a nice usb hard drive.

budget is like 50-60 and doesnt have to be huuuge or anything. I dont play enough games(...or at all?) but I still want all the emulator stuff in one place.

will this work as is without any external power? http://www.newegg.co...N82E16822148407

why dont you want to use a external power source?

actually just make you own with a $10 ebay case

thats what i did untill it filled up then bought a 1tb mybook

actually that is an excellent idea seeing how I already own a spare drive. question is how do I format usb drives?? this one is empty now do I format it in windows or...??

I tried my brothers "WD passport" usb external drive earlier. while freestyledashboard did see it, it couldn't rip any games directly on the USB drive. I tried to rip an original and a backup but both didnt work. didn't get a chance to try emulators(he was worried Id break his drive or something lol)
