External

Hey guys need some guidance on getting a exteral hd and a few questions. If i get one and save whatever on it, get a new computer the stuff will be on the new computer? Also do they crash a lot? Which brand do you reccomend me ( i have a toshiba laptop Toshiba Satellite M45-S165)

Don't forget external drives heat up like internals do, but without access to the ventilation in the main case ... so perhaps it's best to have a metal or vented case for the external drive so it won't overheat.
