Please explain to me what an external hard drive is and what it does.

I got my 80GB for $80 5? years ago? (but it's a Passport drive so a bit more anyway) Then a 500GB for $80 2 years ago.

I remember when my aunt found a "steal" - 128MB flash drives for $25

New Egg is really good for stuff.
I still love Costco for limited computer stuff they have. I get 2 percent back on my annual purchases there. That makes it great for buying work stuff. They've had great prices on the WD portables.
