Looking to buy an external backup hard drive. Any suggestions? I'm not sure if I'm ready for a Drobo just yet?

I've had very good experience with 5" and 5" drives. You can either buy them as external drives, or else buy internal drives and buy an enclosure you like. I'd recommend looking at what's available from Newegg.Com, TigerDirect.

Com and MicroCenter. Com as these three usually have good prices and good customer service. Find the disk you like in the size you need, for the best price among the three and you should be ok.

The Seagate FreeAgent is the best in my experience, and costs just under $100 for the 1 Terabyte version. Product Features USB 2.0: up to 480 Mb/s Rotational Speed: 7200 RPM Simple software, energy efficient, and encryption Dynamic display, ultra stylish, brushed metal, and flexible Technical Details Drive Type: External Capacity: 1TB Interface: USB 2.0 Interface Type: USB Spindle Speed (RPM): 7200 Data Transfer Rate on USB 2.0: up to 480 Mbps.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
