[dba-Tech] External hard drive

I'm going to buy an external hard drive -- should've done it a long time 
ago.

Any recommendations? I need to buy one locally instead of online -- would 
have to make a 2 hour trip into the credit union to deposit funds and we 
don't "do" credit. They have them at Wal-mart, just don't know anything 
about brands, features, gotchas, etc.

Seems to me like it should just be a question of size versus price 
balance -- I'm not expecting this to be a difficult process.
