The Samsung NC10 , being the best netbook around at the moment, comes with a big rapid hard disk built in.  160Gigabytes is certainly a lot for such a small package, and will hold more MP3s and vids than you can shake a stick at.

But, I hear you say, what if I want to store even more vids and MP3s on my Samsung NC10? What if I want to hold all the episodes of Coronation Street for the year so I can watch Kevin telling everyone he’s “snowed under” again and again as the seasons change? Or watch Sally throwing herself at the latest deadbeat to arrive on the Street while Kev’s head’s under the bonnet?

Well the answer is a USB external hard disk drive. It just plugs into one of your three USB ports and the NC10 netbook recognises it and treats the hard disk just like its own internal storage. Plug and play, it’s called, and it’s really as easy as that. And you won’t believe the prices of USB disks nowadays. Cheap as chips is an understatement when you’re talking about under £70 for a terabyte of storage – that’s 1,000 Gigs in old money. And just think how far back your Corrie archive can go with 1,000 Gigabytes! Use the calculator on your NC10 to work it out and post a comment to let me know.
