Storage Solution - External Desktop Hard Drives

I'm using a Sony VAIO PCG-Z1VCP notebook (PM 1.6GHz, 1GB, 60GB) with external LG DVD writer and external 60GB portable Creative hard drive. Sam is using a desktop (P4 2.8GHz, 1GB, Sony DVD writer) with 3 hard drives (no more space for additional hard drives). Both of us need some external storage solutions. Although DVD writer can solve some of our problems, it's not an ultimate solution. An external desktop hard drive would be the best option. External hard drives can be added into our existing systems very easily. And desktop models are most cost effective in terms of $ per gigabyte.
In next posts, I'll introduce some hot external desktop hard drives we're considering. For all available models of external hard drives, clich here.
