I have had fairly good luck with external harddrives. Knock on
wood. But, I keep thinking of using onine storage as they do backups. The price
seems to be coming down. Here is a link to backup service reviews http://www.onlinebackupsreview.com/reviews.php I have 2 1.5 TB drives in a RAID array inside my new
computer. Before I got this computer I was using a one TB FreeAgent Drive. I
still have this one. I just recently bought a Calvary external eSATA connected 2
TB drive RAID mirrored. It also comes with a USB connecter, but the eSATA
connection makes it faster data transfer more like an internal drive. It was
totally plug and play. The install was one of the easiest I have ever done. I
back up my computer to this drive weekly and essentially have two backups of
it. It is pretty small and sits on my desktop. The model is CADA002SA2-B. I
ordered through Amazon and the model was upgraded for free as they had stopped
making the one I originally ordered. The company was super easy to work with
and answered my questions. Here is my model http://www.cavalrystorage.com/CADA_SA2.htm I am on Win7 64 bit computer. Hope this helps. Rene From: owner-photoforum@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
[mailto:owner-photoforum@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Don Roberts I know you all have computers
or you would not be on this list. I assume most of you also use accessory
external hard drives. I have had a run of really bad results with those
things lately. I have had 3 go down completely and another get too
squirrely to trust. All within about a year. Has anyone else run
into more problems than normal? I am buying what seem to be good
brands. Is cloud computing the answer? It gets to be taxing to keep
transferring large photo files to other drives. |
