It still works LIGHTNING fast. Nearly 11 years old already and in almost constant use. That one is a 2.0 USB, the new one is 3.0, even faster. So that's that Proceed. John Titor 911 |

Anonymous Coward User ID: 31729382 United States 11/07/2019 01:37 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Bought a Commodore in the mid 1980's. I think it was all black and white, and hopelessly perplexing. Then we bought a 6G Compaq Presario in the mid-90's. We were assured there was no way we could possibly use that much hard drive, ever. It cost like 5K for the package and looking back, it was a joke. But it was the beginning of the beginning...kinda like when the wheel was invented. |

Anonymous Coward User ID: 77556714 United States 11/07/2019 05:04 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | THAT is why you have a "backup" stored OFF premises (ie: second one that is a clone of the first one. I remember in the early days of PC's when doing backups were virtually mandatory since hard drives would fail regularly. Big business and the cloud still keep at least TWO sets of backups that they utilize on a rotating basis (so if the master and the first backup get corrupted due to a virus they can still go back to the other older backup). When doing backups in days of old we would rotate in the new backup on a weekly basis, and do the actual backups daily onto that drive. The drive not being used that week was always stored off premises during the week it was not in use. The following week we would use the other drive. Doing it that way the most amount of data that we could lose was one week, even if our office location burned down. It became such a habit for me that I still do regular backups of my office data files, about every other day, but these days I just use high capacity thumb drives since they are large enough to store our current data files. (no need to backup program files) I still follow the 2 backup devices routine and the one not in use is still stored off premises for the week it is not being used. Also do the same for my home computers ... but tend to only back those up about once a month, but then store that backup device elsewhere (the office for me) |
Anonymous Coward User ID: 76019584 United States 11/07/2019 07:38 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | In 2009, I bought my first external hard drive, a Seagate 1TB and it cost, I recall, around $300. Have purchased bigger & bigger drives since & today bought my 5th external hard drive, to keep all my important documentations of things, especially stuff I keep from here on GLP, etc. I cannot believe costco is selling them for around $100. Unreal. EIGHT TERABYTES! Quoting: John Titor 911 Proceed. Why not just design a comp with no need for an external hard drive EVER? |
