Plug-in memory.

[divegirl]

Hi,I have seen these advertised on the telly [PC World I think] for around �80. Are they any good? Are they plug and play? Take in to consideration that I don't have the intellidence to open up the hard drive to add memory and my son is addicted to down loading and storing music.

TIA

by plug-in memory, do you mean external hard drives?

if so, then yes you basically just plug them in and it'll appear as another driver in My Computer. You can then store films and games and music etc. on there.

As fo3nix says, this is an external hard drive.

They plug into a USB socket on your PC. Most modern PCs have a USB port and Windows will recognize it and it give it a drive letter, like E or F.

Once it is there then it is very easy to move MP3 files and other digital music and videos on to the hard drive.
