So size does matter for me :) _____________________________ If you arent part of the solution, then there is good money to be made prolonging the problem ��k� Database / DRW help Check out the Tutorials for Frontpage Databases Forum FAQ' s Developers Edition Spooky Login User Registration and Management tool Personalized Frontpage Hosting (in reply to d a v e)

Just bought a Western Digital 120GB USB2 powered external hard drive for my laptop at CompUSA - $119.99. About the size of my Palm LifeDrive :) BTW, came with backup software I've never heard of. Using Acronis True Image 10 instead. _____________________________ Larry M. A liberal is a person whose interests aren't at stake at that moment. (in reply to BobbyDouglas)

My experience with defragging is if done frequently (once a week +/-) then run times are not excessive. Also, defragging can be done in the background although the utililty can be a system hog if hd analysis shows 10% + fragmentation. _____________________________ Larry M.
