I wish se4 could have supported zip files for mod and shipset folders , I'd have a gig more space on my HD than there is now.

You know, I'll bet someone could make a "Mod picker" style utility that would store the mods as zip files and only unzip the one you are currently playing.

The only saving grace for purchasing a boxed external hard drive is the backup/recovery software you usually get.

Approach 1) Save money, use time, no software = buy the drive and enclosure and put them together

Approach 2) Waste money, save time, get backup/recover software = buy a boxed LaCie or Maxtor hard drive.

Personally I like the Maxtor One-Touch for its' utterly painless backup system (push the button stupid!). This is what I use on the majority of my client installations.

I operate a lot of my work now from a portable hard drive, as a gift a few months ago, it was a 100gb Seagate Portable Hard Drive and it was all enclosed and that good stuff. Works great too. I accidently found the receipt for it at my parent's home and it cost them about 90 bucks after shipping and freight insurance.

That is where they bought it from and this is it, looks like the price went up or it was on sale.
