I have about 85 GB of video clips on my laptop and I was wondering if I can transfer all those clips to this drive and be able to free up space on my laptop. Then when I want to watch my video clips, can I just simplely plug this harddrive in and have access to all my videos like as if they were still on my laptop? I've read reviews of other external hard drives and alot of them said they quit working after a day, some a week (they said the pc couldnt recognize it.)Do external harddrive have some kind of lifespan where over a long period of time, it will stop working? NOW THAT IS THE BIGGEST CONCERN I have, last thing I want to happen is if I transfer all my clips to the external harddrive, delete the clips from my laptop, then have that problem some day where the laptop/pc wont recognize or read the drive and I LOSE ALL MY VIDEOS. Do you think that will ever happen with this one? If so, which one would you recommend? I need one about 120 Gb and for about $100. http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.as... -Apricorn Aegis Portable A25-USB-160
Old wives tale about drives dying in a very short period of time, a few days. And if it does, you will have a warranty. I have seen bigger and less costly drives on sale at Circuit City, Office Depot and Staples. Find a sale and buy 3 for only a small number of dollars over what you are prepared to spend. One drive you USE all the time. The second drive you hook up and use to make a backup and then disconnect. The third (optional but I highly recommend it) is your on the shelf spare in case one of the other two drives fails. Just today, I saw ads for 250gb external USB drives for $89 in my local newspaper. Shop the sales and I am sure you can do MUCH better and get 2 drives at least.
Better yet, buy an external DVD burner and transfer your media files to a DVD data disk. If you have them saved as files on your hard disk, you can save them to a DVD data disk AND you get the advantage that the DVD never forgets. I saw burners on sale for $59 and 100 DVD disks for $22, which is less that you would pay for the hard disk you mention even with sales tax! Documentation Carbon Copy Cloner::
Sometimes backing up your data to a single external hard drive is just too suit your needs. Managing and monitoring scheduled tasks
