[Deathnote]

Guyz im planning on buying an external harddrive so i can save programs like adobe and etc in it para pwede kahit sa internet shop ako gumawa nang projects but just have a few questions

how much is the price range?
what brand should i look for?
is it true that merong mga computer na di nag wowork ang external harddrive?

how much is the price range?

depends on your budget, kung wala ka problem diha, get the WD MyBook na mga external hard drives else buy a 3.5-inch hard drive + enclosure

what brand should i look for?

WD MyBook is the only thing that comes up in my head right now.

is it true that merong mga computer na di nag wowork ang external harddrive?

if the USB port (5-volts) isn't sufficient to power the hard drive, the enclosure must supply power externally in other words, kailangan siya ug iyang kaugalingon nga power cord. this is usually applicable to 3.5 inch na hard drive enclosures.

go where your budget leads you. as for your question na installing adobe on an external hard drive then running it sa cafe wouldn't work unless portable applications imong gamit.

bro sakto ra na ang size..basin 698gb imong gi-mean, dili 689gb..mao ni unsaon pagcalculate.

mostly man gud gigamit sa manufacturers ay decimal bytes.. kilobytes = 1000 bytes
so example naa ka 10gb = 10,000,000,000 bytes.
pero ang gigamit sa pc kay binary bytes which is 1kilobytes = 1024 bytes.
so ang calculation: 10,000,000,000 / 1024 = 9765625 Kb
9,765,625 Kb / 1024 = 9,536.7431640625 Mb (9,536.74Mb)
9,536.7431640625 Mb ÷ 1024 = 9.31gb

so kung sa imong hd nga 750gb = 750,000,000,000 / 1024 / 1024 / 1024 = 698.49gb
