i seen a seagate 160gb that should be good. question though would fl studio run ok if i put it on the external hard drive with all my sounds and all my plug-ins. also i gonna put acid 4.0 and cool edit on it too. or should i leave all programs on my computer hard drive and just put all my sounds and beats on the external?

I've got a Seagate.

I put all my sounds and beats on the external and all my programs on my computer, but putting programs on the external sounds like a pretty good idea...just don't know if it's feasible.

If I were to repurchase an external I'd get one that wasn't so damn loud though.
