Need an external hard drive recommendation

[jeremy6044]

Please recommend me a good external hard drive for Time Machine backup...

i now only have about 20gb of data to back up, which i think will increase, but maybe double or triple. so i'm thinking 120-250gb?

please recommend a cheap solution because i don't want to spend too much since i don't have that much data to back up. also, something with a small footprint would be nice, too, since i don't have much space in my apartment.

thanks!

I would recommend an external enclosure, there's some on this page. Then you will be able to upgrade your hard drive if your needs increase.

With prices these days get 250gb at least. www.buy.com has some great prices. Lacie is a good external manufacuter.
