I'm looking to purchase an external hard drive. The purpose for this is to mainly watch high definition movies (mostly avi files). I plan on having this hard drive hooked up to my Xbox 360 via usb.
I've noticed some slowdowns when I burned movies to disc....must be the DVD drive not being able to keep with the high video bit rates. My question is, what's the best thing to look for if I'm mainly using this external drive for watching HD flicks?
Is buffer size more important than the cache? I'm not worried about size as even a nice 500GB drive is more than enough. Should I be sticking to brand names or not? In other words, do you get what you pay for? My budget is around $100 bucks.
I welcome your feedback and guidance.
