Question for computer boffs External HD's

[MCH]

Its all much of a muchness really. Western Digital is a decent brand though so yeh go for it. I would say it definitely wasnt along the budget line of things so should be fine.

So what is the SSD vs HDD thing then?

If you want to keep the data. Get a nas drive with 2 bays for running mirrored copies of files. I lost all my photos in 2003. Won't make that mistake again!

Buffalo and western digital make some decent cheap ones. They also have additional features!

You could still use a external usb hd for portability. And the data isn't critical.

so something like this?

then 2 matched drives and just duplicate the data on both? in the hope if they fail only 1 will, then replace and re-duplicate
