[gui-talk] information on a U S B portable disk drive

[Gerald Levy]

I recently purchased a Seagate Freeagent Go 160gb portable hard drive from 
newegg.com for $50 with free shipping.  It is completely plug and play, and 
my XP Pro Dell workstation recognizes it immediately as soon as I plug it 
into the front-panel USB port using the included USB cable.  It comes with 
file management software that is JAWS-accessible, although I prefer to use 
the Windows XP Backup Utility to back up my files and folders.  You can buy 
a 500gb version of this drive from newegg.com for about $80.  It is about 
the size of a passport holder and small enough to carry around in my shirt 
pocket.  Western Digital also makes good portable hard drives, but they tend 
to be  more expensive than Seagate. Both companies back their portable 
drives with a five-year warranty.
