I know this isn't the place to ask but I'd appreciate any opinions on
a Vaio external hard drive(10 gb). Thanks
Can't vouch for the brand.
However, my 2 Cents would be a 10 Gb hdd is kinda small.
My recommendations would be do as I did.
Get yourself a 60 or 80 Gb hdd, (mine's an 80) partition as
2 drives, format it, and slap it into an external hdd
enclosure. Same end result as an external hard drive, but
cheaper.
As for the merits of external storage, I recommend it
highly. You can back up to it almost instantly, and when you
want to format/reinstall your hard drive, you just turn off
the external drive.
I've reformatted my main drive a dozen times since I've had
my external drive, and all I do is turn it off, partition,
format, install, and turn it back on. That way, once my OS
is installed, some 90 % of my install software is on my
backup drive, and ready to go with a couple of mouse clicks.
Hope that helps.
Good luck!
