     This summer Seagate, the masters of storage, released their huge 750gb hard drives. Hot on it's heals came their external version. With 750gb of portable storage, there really isn't much out there that you can't jam into this unit! Are you attempting to download every MP3 or video on the Internet? Maybe you want a massive backup solution for your gaming rig? If you're looking for a ton of storage, then the Seagate 750gb External Hard Drive could be the product you've been looking for.

     So just how big is 750 gigabytes? 750gb equals about 768,000 megabytes, or about 1097 high capacity music CDs, or about 533,333 floppy disks (1 Gigabyte = 1024 Megabytes ). Yah baby, that's a lot of storage!
