External Hard Drives

[joebloggs]

Hard disk is far bigger and do remember in 1995 most of us were amazed to have a 1gb hdd now programs can be bigger than that. So if you intend to keep for a while best to think maybe not 13 years but it does not take long for techno gadgets to become outdated.
So personally i would go for the HDD.

1995 come on andy don't make me , you remember further back than that , I'm sure your a similar age to me , i remember the 5 1/4 inch full height mfm 5mb hdd back in the late 70's. 1995


i think you can buy a 8gb usb stick for like £10 now

600gb external hdd for £60-ish

Amy you might want to consider sd cards and a reader.

The readers and adaptors dont cost much and you can havebulid up a collection of the cards as you go along.

Heres the card readers make sure you get one which can take larger sizes and which is usb 2.0 otherwise it will be very slow.

Some of them will act and look like a usb stick and you just slot in the card. So if the card goes wrong you can replace or when larger sizes are avaiable etc.

Just a thought.

Also very easy to take with you and keep safe in a small bag when traveling. A HDD will take up some of your weight allowance on a flight

The above site is just a easy to navigate site not saying its the best value or easy for you to use. But as many of the devices come from china a trip to manila should help you find similar devices if you cant locally
