Digital Media Needs Room To Breathe: Get a Bigger Hard Drive

As time goes on, hard drives get bigger, and for good reason. Downloading everything from music to TV shows to movies is all the rage these days, and each takes up more space than the last. No matter what kind of media you’re downloading, the better the quality the larger the file. As HD catches on people are going to get spoiled, and faster internet connections are gonna make downloading huge HD files not so big a deal. But you need a place to store all that media goodness!

No worries. As hard drive space has become more desirable, hard drives have gotten conveniently cheaper. Currently you can get a nice external drive for about 40 cents per gigabyte, which is pretty nuts seeing it wasn’t too long ago that a 5 GB hard drive would set you back more than $200. Take this IOMEGA 33215 External 250GB USB 2.0 Hard Drive, for example. That’s plenty of room for pretty much as much music as you could ever want to listen to with some space left over for a couple dozen movies. And you don’t even need to install it, with a simple USB connection being all it takes to get it up and running. Now that that’s taken care of, the fun of filling it with goodies can begin.

Hi,
I purchased the above mentioned piece of hardware but am wondering how to install it. You may ask "Why don't you read the instructions?" Well, the answer is I don't where the instructions are. You see I purchased this several months ago and have misplaced the box. I plugged everything into the USB's on my computer but my computer is not recognizing the new hardware. I went to the file labeled "my computer" and it is not there. Could you help?
I know the basic computer stuff. I by no means consider myself an expert at this computer. BOB
