What type of portable external hard drive should I use for my laptop?

History Fi

I am looking for a Portable External Hard Drive for my HP laptop. I need one that has at least 2tb of memory and is fast but affordable (preferably under $150) I'm looking for a good reliable brand too. I just don't know where to start. If it helps any I have Windows 7.

Answer
You can get a 3 TB Western Digital hard drive from Amazon for under $150.00
I have a 2.5 and a 3.0 TB for my two laptops from Western Digital and they have worked flawlessly. One of my laptops is Windows 7 and one is Windows 8. I don't work for Amazon (retired postal service) but I really like Amazon for deals. Check them out and do some searching. I think you will find what you need.

My 1TB Seagate External Portable Hard Drive is not showing up in my Windows 8 computer?

So what I did first was to check the diskmgmt.msc but found out that there's a disk with the file system called "RAW", 931GB total storage and 931GB available storage which didn't help me at all. After that, I checked the device management which showed something called "WPD FileSystem Volume Driver" under the "Portable Devices" menu and I'm sure that that thing is my Portable Hard Drive since it disappears as soon as I unplug it and appears again as soon as I plug it back in. But no matter what I do, it still doesn't show up, even after I reboot my computer... It's been working fine until today and I've never formatted it before. Please help!!!! There are lots of important data in there.
