Inspiron 8600 caddy & HDD
Recently bought an 8600 from Outlet - great machine, great price.
I'd like to be able to back up to another HDD, and also to be able to use the new HDD in the Inspiron. Is this feasible, and any recommendations for drives & caddies please? Presumably it's a 2.5" drive/caddy I need. Is it just a question of plugging it in to the USB or Firewire port? Excuse the ignorance, but thanks for any help. Peter
