One fairly cheap and flexible method would be to make your own! One of these and whatever IDE drive you fancy from savastore.
But make sure that isn't the only copy of that important data! |
I've got a 40GB External HDD (Laptop drive in a ally case).
Recently it has begun to give me bad sectors etc - read / write errors.
This was the reason for me buying a larger USB drive (4GB U3 SanDisk Cruzer Micro - thaks Aragorn!
)
If I need some larger capacity drive on the move, then I use some DVD-RW's or my webspace.
I'd go for something that's external but where portabiity is not really a factor - like the NAS box in my first post. That will quite happily sit connected to my wireless router!
