I'm wanting to add a bit of file storage space this holiday season and thought I'd look into external hard drives.
I want the drive to have 250GB of storage space or more and be reasonably portable (I plan to take it on trips to visit family). I'd like for it to be able to connect via both USB 2.0 and ethernet, but the ethernet connection isn't necessary. I looked at a few drives that can plug directly into the network, but I was told that some drives require installing proprietary software on client machines (which defeats the purpose of a plug and play drive).
Here's what I'm looking at. Opinions?
