External Dive
My OS is win 7 prof 64 bit and I have a 1tb of HD in my Lenovo ThinkCentre M72e pc. I need to get an ext HD to backup the programs and also the data. The size of all the programs may come to about 100 gigs the
most and on the high side the data another 100 gigs. What should be the size of the ext HD.
As a safety net, I intend to use another form of backup, like Back2Zip which backs up the data files, file by file as a zip file.
I have a Western Digital 500 gigs ext HD for more than 2 years and it never failed me, in terms of reliability of the data backed up or saved. And since it was sitting on my desk, it never moved either.
The points are reliability of the data being saved and also the HD itself. Speed is not important (as I can wait and grab a coffee) if it is a price differential. Hope the experts can please suggest a model number and the size I shoudl go for based on their experience. Since price is another factor, so please suggest some low priced ones too. Thank u.
