Computers are like cars: They can crash at any time.
So, let’s talk portable storage. It is affordable and very useful for backing up important data. I just bought a Free Agent “GO” 320 GB portable hard drive for under $100 this past weekend. It was able to hold everything on my laptop no problem.
Having had several computers crash on me I believe in backing up data often, and I encourage you to do so as well. So perhaps you should check out some portable storage this weekend.
Another option is an external hard drive. This is very similar to a portable hard drive, minus the portable part. One the plus side, you can get more for less. One terabyte (1,000 Gigabytes) worth of space in an external drive costs the same as 500 Gigabytes in a portable hard drive. It really depends on your needs and how much space you have as to what is the best option for you.
I hope this has been helpful to you. And remember to back up your data, you never know when your computer can cra…………
