Hi everyone! I feel a little silly asking this, because to most of you the answer will be so obvious, but what's the deal with external drives? I was looking at some of the cheap ones on pricewatch.com, but I quickly discovered that I didn't know what I was doing. Do I need to buy a drive plus some sort of a case or kit? How do I know if a drive comes with all the necessary stuff? Is there a better option than pricewatch.com?

Thanks, everyone.

Phil
