    This hard drive looks promising with 1 TB storage, USB 2.0 and eSata, as well as being able to run on less energy than most other external HDs apparently, without skimping on performance. Can be stood on its side or flat as well, which helps saves space I suppose for anyone with cluttered desks. Very tempted by this HD because it's being sold for 160 CAD on TigerDirect Canada + S&H, so closer to 190 CAD, and my P-7811 FX has eSata.

    I asked people in the Gateway forum about any experiences they've had with this particular HD, but I realize I probably should've asked here first. If anyone has any alternate external HD suggestions as well, I'd be open to other alternatives.

    Here's the specs for anyone interested:

    It looks nice but you can get a 1tb seagate for cheap price. I love the seagate as it has durability,speed and good 5 yrs warranty.
