portable hard drive 60 image
Q. I got a portable USB 60 G external harddrive with a program as the way to add files. My computer had very little space on it due to dl music and movies and I just wanted to move them to the harddrive. It does something called synchronizing to move them...when it does this is, is it only copying or actually moving the files? Do I need to delete the files from my laptop after putting them on the harddrive?
Answer
Be careful with the sync program. IF it is set to sync automatically, then you manually delete music and movies from your laptop, the program may try to delete the same data from your USB Hard drive as well. The program will not delete anything from your laptop. You must do that manually.
IF your going the way of transferring files, then deleting them off the laptop computer, you need to be very careful with the sync program. Sync works great if you want exact duplicate folders. In your case, it sounds like you want everything on the USB drive, so sync'ing may not be the best option. Just a manual copy and paste, then a manual delete of the laptop data. You may have an option for the program you are using, which gives you the option to add new data from a folder without deleting the stuff already on the USB hard drive. Thats what you need to do. What ever the case, you should delete the laptop data manually to make sure you haven't lost anything until its copied.

I am considering adding this

Will it work? If not, why? What will?
Answer
Yes, that drive will work with an Acer aspire One (fellow owner of one).
Although I HIGHLY recommend getting an external dribve that has it's own power cable because the Aspire One isn't designed to have continuous running power draw while it's running it's own hardware too.
Your pricing there is a bit high too, especially for a 500Gb drive. You should be able to find even the same model for about $35 - $40 less.
I'd personally go to www.geeks.com and browse their hard drives page, which also has cables with power supplies, hard drives of 1Tb for about $60.00, and external cases for under $10.00.
Their easier to assemble and build than You think, and if You only plan to use the external at home/school/work, You can score a FANTASTIC combo deal building it Yourself with it's own power supply.
Good Luck!.
