External hard drive for lap top?
I've got a laptop that is fairly old, I pretty much use it only to sync music with my iPhone, I like to keep all my best albums stored on the laptops memory so when I come to change the music on my phone its a quick 5 min job of syncing the new albums, the problem is having all the music (I've got a lot if CDs) stored on my lap top makes it run unbearably slow, also I don't want to have to rip a cd each time I want to put it in my iPhones music, witch I change quite a lot,
I've been thinking about getting an external hard drive to store iTunes and the large amount of albums I like to keep on tap.
I don't know much about pcs laptops ect so not to sure what to get, size wise about 250gb would be good I also want something that is easy, something i could just drag and drop my iTunes and its music straight to the external hard drive and free up space on my lap top, also nice and easy to put music from the external hdd to my iPhone, also I don't want to pay too much money I've tried searching on eBay but I just get a list of cables, I thought external hdd plugged in via USB? I'd really appreciate it if some one who knew the part that would help me out could find one eBay and leave the link for that auction in their answer, also pretty standard, I like things as cheap as possible!
Cheers
You just have to ask eBay nicely.

- Is the NAS (Network Attached Storage) the best external hard drive option for a home? I have been looking at the WD MyCloud 4Tb version specifically to store my iTunes music library and any videos I may have in the future. Been wondering if via the NAS, one can access their iTunes music in their cars without having to store the music on a local flash storage drive like on their iPhones. Everything can be remotely accessed through their NAS at home.
