Linda B.,
You never have enough storage if you're a photographer (g)
You have to think about where you storage is off premises too. I use
internal hard drives because they are smaller than external drives and keep
one backup in a safe deposit box. I use to keep it at my Uncle's place in a
nearby state but stopped when he passed on. Internal drives tend to be
faster at backing up whole drive since you can get ones that work at the
speed of your bus. Of course this depends on how new your computer is as
there are now faster hard drives that my computer can't make use
of the extra speed. External dive usually work off UBS ports which are
now slower than the faster hard drives.
I have a PCI card that lets me attach four more hard drives to my computer.
At some point I will probably set up a raid system on a PCI card as
it provides and immediate backup as you work.
Some services that host web sites provide unlimited storage. You pay
for your website on a yearly basis and have the storage. You have to have at
least the regular speed cable upload speed to use this. Cable speed upload is
slower than download . I know you can get the same speed upload on a DSL
premium service too. In my area AT&T has a DSL over a regular phone line
that is cheaper per month than cable.

I am thinking about getting an external hard drive for storage and have been told that 1TB is probably way to large. I've also been told that getting one with it's own power supply would be a good idea. Need a new ride? Check out the largest site for U.S. used car listings at AOL Autos. |
