How big is your hard drive?
Mine is 80 GB.

meh, I was a computer technician for four years before I got one, and it was only because my laptop was on the fritz and I'd gotten into digital photography. Long story short, laptop DID die, glad I got the external backup, and I now keep important files and my photos backed up on the external and a secondary hard drive on Phil's desktop. Also, I help my mom with computer stuff and we like to share photos, so it's easier for me to take a portable drive home than both of us constantly uploading and downloading files.
If you get the right brand and are careful, they are very handy, depending on your needs. But if you don't really have a need for having tens of gigs worth of files always at hand, a USB flash drive would suffice.

I only have about 18 GB left on my hard drive. I was going to start burning some DVD backups but the external hard drive is starting to look like a better idea.

I stay with internals, and a 1GB USB stick.
A friend of mine took the external HDD of his fathers only one time somewhere else, and it was nearly the only time it was ever used and transported, and after that it was broke.
Maybe an unique experience, or bad luck, but for me it's not worth it. And they are costing at least €30 (about $38) more than a normal one.
