So. TEP has provided me with a lot of samples for my music. I don't want them all on my PC sitting idle. One of the guys I go to college with has a 300 Gig block thingy that looks no bigger than a VCR. This thing is huge, like he has fucking 500 feature length films on it. He said it cost him around 100 Euro (He's Irish). Any ideas guys?
EDIT - Got the price wrong.

If this is what this thing is then yeh. I'm not even sure what it was. It had a USB lead inbuilt to it, it was about as big and thick as a VCR and he just carries it in his bag and stuff =/ As you can tell I'm not too savvy with this stuff xD

EDIT Miggle, how much did it cost?

A mate of mine has one of those, 160GB model. It's awesome.

The idea of any hi-fi system is to reproduce the source material as faithfully as possible, and to deliberately add distortion to everything you hear (due to amplifier deficiencies) because it sounds 'nice' is simply not high fidelity. If that is what you want to hear then there is no problem with that, but by adding so much additional material (by way of harmonics and intermodulation) you have a tailored sound system, not a hi-fi. - Rod Elliot, ESP
