I'm looking for a portable external hard drive for storing pictures and movies. I was looking at the Western Digital Passport Essential 500GB. I've read some reviews that some hard drives are not good for storing movies. Is this a good choice? If not what is?

Answer
well some one i know has been using a western digital external hard disk drive for quite some time and he has had no problems with it...
i have also used that external hard disk and the movies stored on it and the songs work just as the same as the internal hard disk...
just be sure to look for the rpm ie rotations per second of the disk so that a higher rpm disk is much better
hope that answers the question
take care...

What is the difference between an external hard drive and a portable hard drive?

I need a hard drive to save all my downloads for iTunes on so that I don't use up the computer space. I found an 500gb external hard drive for about 80$, and 160gb portable hard drive for about 110$. What's the difference between an external and portable, because it sounds like the same concept to me.

Answer
they are the exact same but some people don't know the right word
but portable hard drives are pocket sizes kinda like a flash drive but a bit bigger and external hard drive is more of an at home one you plug into the wall. id go with the external 500gb for 80 rather than 160 for 110 500 is allot more and more useful my opinion.
