best external hard drive of 2012 image
Johnny
I was planning on purchasing an external terabyte hard drive and saw that the price dramatically increased within a fairly short time. I've read that there was a flood where the drives are manufactured and they weren't able to produce as many as they originally planned, so the prices were raised. I'm guessing that in early 2012 the supply will meet the demand and the price range will return to its Summer 2011 range. Does anyone know any more about this? Thanks!
Answer
Experts predict that the floods will affect drive prices until 2013, but practically you should see consumer drive prices down to about where they were before the floods by mid 2012. I'd say wait at least until March before getting a large drive, though it's up to you if you need the storage now or later.

How much memory is my computer using?
Rubbersoul
I know this is a n00b question, but I want to purchase an external hard drive for my computer so I need to find out how big a hard drive I would need. What is the normal amount of memory a 14in laptop would use? I have an HP Pavilion dm4... Thanks!
Answer
You are much more than a noob, you are completely uneducated in computers, no offense....
***********************************************
A hard drive IS NOT MEMORY!!!!
Your RAM is memory.
***********************************************
Any size hard drive can be used as either an internal or USB external storage device.
You can buy any size external hard drive you want, according to how much stuff you think you need to store on it. As they are relatively cheap nowadays, I recommend getting at least a 1TB (1024GB) external hard drive for your file storage needs.
*****************************************************************
As far as the normal amount of RAM (memory) in a 14 inch laptop, that can vary by type, brand, specs, price, etc.
It can be anywhere from 2GB to 8GB or even 16GB of RAM.
*******************************************************************************

REMEMBER THIS:
A hard drive is just permanent storage space for operating system and personal files, like a closet or chest drawer, if you want. The bigger it is the more stuff it will hold. In your case, the bigger the hard drive, the more files you can store on it.
Here are a 3.5 inch desktop hard drive and a 2.5 inch laptop hard drive.

RAM - an acronym for Random Access Memory (aka memory, system memory or operating memory) on the other hand, is where your computer temporary stores system and program files as well as all other stuff needed to run the operating system and any program or application you are using at that moment.
RAM memory gets constantly erased and overwritten during normal computer operation and is dumped (emptied out) when the computer is shut down.
Here is how RAM (memory) looks like:
