External Hard Drive Question

[hardhat]

I have alot of music on my computer, and it is filling it up. So my question is, if I buy an external hard drive, could i download my music onto that, then when I want to play the music put the external Hard drive in, and play it? Thanks.

Yes you could, but some people have had problems with those devices failing in a relatively short time. All hard drives die eventually, so if there is anything valuable you want to save you should plan to burn it to a CD or DVD.

use 8.5gb dual layer DVDs if you have over 4.7gb i wouldnt bother compressing
