What is a good external backup HD ?

Featured Replies

I would like to backup my backed up imaged hard drive to a reliable external hard drive. What is a good make that is fairly easy (i.e., idiot-proof) to use for this purpose and does not cost a fortune ?Thanks!JS

Maxtor One-touch external hard drives are probably the daddies in this particular area of PC components, but the cost is pretty shocking... go for something like Western Digital or Seagate...a lot cheaper, and still a good reliable make when it comes to HD's, external or internal.
