xternal Hard drive

[suzie2119]

can someone please help me. I have bought a laptop and have been using it for downloading songs and albums. I was told i should get an external hard drive to store them on so i dont use up the memory on the laptop.
duz anyone know of a good one?
My laptop is vista and i dont know how to tell if its compatible with some of them.
thanks

Hi suzie
Any USB drive will be compatible with Vista, if in doubt ask the sales staff when you buy it, they will be happy to help.
Something like this will store loads of songs and it's quite inexpensive too.

According to the FAQ on the site it is fully compatible with Vista.
