Fellow mac users! help me!! External hard drives? Macbook Pro?

Question

Alright, so here's the question:

I've had my macbook pro for a while now (about a 1.5 years) and have expanded my music collection quite a bit since I purchased it. Yesterday, my computer informed me that my hard drive is almost completely full and to clear up some space. Since I travel a lot, I like to keep my music readily available on the laptop and not just stored away on an external hard drive at home, but i'm beginning to realize that I need to purchase one in order to keep using my computer.

Yes, i have an ipod.

and No, that is not the solution.

The problem is that I need to have my entire library of music available on the go when i'm working on projects on trains or cafe's and don't want to be carrying around a bulky external hard drive from place to place.

So my question is...

Can you help me pick out an external hard drive??

Here's my parameters:

-Lightweight

-Travels Well

-Doesn't need to be plugged into an electrical outlet! (this is very important)

-Reasonable Price

-Can hold AT LEAST 100 GB of memory

I'd really appreciate the help!!

Thanks :)

Answer 1

Go into an Apple store and tell them your needs they are always so helpful in there, they will definitely be able to help!! Good Luck!!

Answer 2

I think your solution would run more along the lines of getting a larger internal drive, copying over all your data and then swapping them out.
