which model precisely is the best out of all
cause you gave me a list of these models ... there is too much too choose ... I just wanted to know out of all of these models which one is the best one.


Cause i read in other forums some of these models have technical problems and people wrote a complain posts

The are all nearly identical hardware wise. Just pick one, buy an external enclosure that has the same connections, put them together and backup your games.

I prefer IDE drives if its going to be used externally. The Sh-D162D/C are the bets IDE versions IMO. I would buy a preflashed one off ebay.

If you live in America i suggest you order fromTHIS Guy, i ordered mine from him and received it in 3 days via USPS. Then i would buy THIS External enclosure. Should work just fine. If you live elsewhere you will need to find another source.

I got my drive from him as well. Never had any problems really. Actually received it two days after the auction. One of the fastest I have ever had
