I am planning to buy one,any suggestions?
[HIGHLIGHT]If your buying it for a backup drive, buy a solid state drive. [/HIGHLIGHT]Other than that, pick one with a good warranty that's cheap with lots of space.
Why would you backup the OS? Just create an image on CD/DVD and if the worst should happen restore from that.Well when I say backup, I mean like a bare-bone backup, just the OS. I have Vista along with some work files backed up on a 20GB SSD. I consider backing up anything more than just the OS or really important files a storage drive(to be hooked up all the time), in which case I'd go with a 500GB to 1TB SATA.
Get a Western Digital Mybook 2.0 1tb. It's Cheap and I love it
