    Hello :)

    I need a new external hard drive to use with my laptop since it's only featuring a 160gb SSD.

    What i want:
    usb powered (i prefer only 1 usb cable needed)
    2,5"
    small and light
    silent
    nice design
    maybe usb 3.0 and 7200rpm but i don't know if i really need it..
    and.. CHEAP :D

    I know this is much to ask, but maybe you could recommend some?

    btw. i have been looking at Samsung S2 Portable 3.0 HX-MTD10EA 1 TB. What do you think of that?

    Thank you in advance!

    That one looks great, thx.
    and it's even a little bit cheaper than the samsung s2.

    I still have a couple of days before buying so i would love to receive other recommendations.
