<P>Hello people..</P>
<P>Happy new year!</P>
<P>now to the topic:</P>
<P>I want to buy an external harddisk for back up and file transfer purposes. I was thinking of an 80 gb one, until one guy told me that if I buy an internal one and box it, it would be cheaper. basically, he says, its just a bus to USB converter with a carry around box and the local hardware guy does that. So, for the 80 GB one, he was quoting something around 4 to 5K rs. for everything(internal drive and box). I have no idea about this boxthing. So, obviously, I need some help in deciding. Here is my question:</P>
<P>Is box method reliable?</P>
<P>If not which external hard disk is good? </P>
<P>If yes, that What price should be paid?</P>
<P>Thanks in advance guys. This is my first buy this year.. please help me out.</P>
<P>e.d.</P>
