external/portable hard drive help?

Logan

What's a good portable hard drive that's below $500. I know it's a little vague but I'm not an expert with computer hardware. Also would it be a bad idea to run my games from them? Would that shorten it's lifespan anymore than it would if I just used it for storage.

Answer
I have a Western Digital My Book. I really love it. It's a 1TB it cost about 124 bucks. That was from Dell. You can probably get it cheaper at Office Depot, or Best Buy.

Can i turn my old laptops hard drive into a portable hard drive for my new pc?

if yes then how???? cheers

Answer
Buy an enclosure for a 2.5" form factor drive such as this one from Office Depot. You should be able to find one just about anywhere that you can buy a computer - $10-15

You will not need to format the drive. It will not be in your boot sequence, and you will be able to access any data that is currently on it.
