External Hard drive selections?

[JDMEK18]

Hey Guys,

I just bought an HP 500gig slim external hard drive in piano black for $55 bucks and it works perfect.
Its a small investment to protect family pictures, movies, etc..
My plan is to always have a backup of my backup (which would be getting another 500gig or larger drive and backing up my primary drive to it - just incase something happens to the primary one)

here is the one i have - Its $124 at walmart i paid $55 from a private seller (or you can get 2 for $99 = 1tb) - You can e-mail me for the private sellers info if you like.

How much data do you need to save? Couple of gigs?

You're best bet is to get a Seagate/ WD in a 2.5 size external hd. That way it powers of the usb and is much more portable. My WD 2.5 has been more reliable than my 1000gb simplex which i got for cheap. (should have gotten a seagate)
