USB Hard drives

[Cloud]

Ok my laptop is rammed full of 220gb of music which is virtually capacity of my harddrive. Will a USB harddrive if I transfer all my music to it and tell Itunes to look there for my music be recognised by Itunes as where my music is storedand still sync?

So naf with computers but I need space back on my harddrive for more tunes. Plus my computer so full it's getting stupid slow.

The drive letter for the external hard drive should remain the same when unplugging and plugging it back in, so iTunes will always look on that drive.

But if the drive letter changes for some reason, you can follow this guide to change it back to the one that iTunes knows to look in.

Defo need to look into it as new laptop far out of my reach at the min but USB drive I can do especially one with decent capacity.

Would an external hard drive not be a better option? High capacity USBs would be more expensive I think?

I'm assuming that's what he meant. External hard drives connect through USB.

USB port. I have a 1TB and it was £45, so they're pretty cheap.

Hard drives went up in price because of a flood in the area that manufactures a high majority of them.

Don't mind me, I'll just be here making factual posts and getting ignored.

I read about that flooding in the paper, somewhere in Japan I think? I could be wrong though.

Thailand I think. The prices have gone down a little from when it happened, but I just looked and a 1TB external HDD was about £80.

£80? Damn, glad I got mine a while back then.

Don't buy USB external hard drives in this time of age. They are really expensive at the moment because of the tsunami's. No joke. Just wait a few month's and then check 'em out again, they'll be cheaper.

1 TB = €134,95 = £111,31 = $177,43..
