Alright so I happen to pick up lots of extra things that I don't want on my computer and do system recoverys every once in a while. Well I'm sick of having to reacquire all my music each time this happens so I'm looking for an external HD to hold all my music and documents and such but I'm not looking for an expensive HD, I just want it to function properly. So will this HD work for my purposes?http://cgi.ebay.com/New-120GB-USB-2-0-External-Portable-2-5-Hard-Drive-HD_W0QQitemZ120463898551QQcmdZViewItemQQptZPCC_Drives_Storage_Internal?hash=item1c0c3537b7%26_trksid=p3286.c0.m14Does this look like a reliable external HD?
Come on computer gurus I know you're out there.Does this look like a reliable external HD?
Errr.... it doesn't even have a company name on it... I personally wouldn't buy it because I have no idea who is making this...
Yeah well it says under the info that it's refurbished and what you get is a generic item. So I guess they take broken HDs, fix them, then throw them in a generic black casing?

I didn't see that though. And they are trying to sell those for $40?! No way No way. Try actually going to retailer and seeing if you can find something with a better price. Newegg.com is pretty good.
