Western Digital Elements
I bought an external hard drive last November. It was a WD Elements Portable 320Gb. I bought one because MiBook only has 60gb and i’m constantly left with only 500mb and it’s such a pain to have to delete stuff all the time, over and over.
I like watching drama and anime and I love to listen to music… and there’s just not enough space, with my desktop dead and my external drives for it don’t seem to work on the macbook… I just gave up and got myself an external drive. Kind of my present to myself for getting promoted.
So far, I haven’t had any troubles with the drive. It’s plugged in all the time even with the macbook off, although the light stays on because I don’t unplug it. I’ve already dropped it once, and it still works fine. What I like about it is it’s really just plug-and-play. No need to run any disks or anything and there are no fancy features that I needed to pay extra for that I know I wouldn’t have used. It also has rubberized corners, maybe for anti-slip or shock-guards? It doesn’t heat up either so I’m not afraid of it overheating. I just put it behind the macbook and it just sits there untouched, getting dusty though.
I know it’s a little messy. I’ve already cleaned that up a little. I have a lot of USB stuff plugged in, like the mouse and keyboard, because the macbook’s keyboard and trackpad died and I have no intention of having it fixed in the near future. I can’t afford to get it fixed when it’s working pretty fine with this set up.
My friend said I have never heard of Cable Management, but I think this is very organized already, don’t you think?

Perhaps “unsightly” was the word your friend was looking for? ^^;
