Bit of help if you please, anyone seen any good deals on any portable hard disks 400GB plus?

Thanks

PC World were selling a 500gb for £69 - reserve online and collect at store.

Do you have a link?

[KiltoxServices]

Urgh, they've put it up to £79.99, sorry .

400GB @ £69.99 - http://www.pcworld.co.uk/martprd/sto...&category_oid=

I doubt that's the best buy though - looking at ebuyer for you now.

Are you after a USB-only drive or one that you can plug into your network and perform backups remotely. I'm eyeing up a LaCie Ethernet Disk mini; 320GB, and both ethernet for constant backups/retrieval and USB for fast writing and portability. About £140

LaCie

You can't go wrong with them!

Don't forget the importance of remote back up also....a hard drive with all your important data isn't much good if your office burns down (or hard drives stolen) with the main and external hard drive in it is it?

If doing your own back up you can make it remote by taking the external hard drive 'off site' at the end of each working day - if you don't do this the back up isn't good enough.


Best Wishes

Thanks Amanda,

I currently have off site, on site and online backups, just to be extra safe!!

[VLAHAKISA]

I have offsite, but rather irrationally don't fully 'trust it' and so I have on site as well!

Hi,

I was just wondering if either of you had reccomendations for offsite back ups?

Thanks

Oh didn't think of using hosting as a backup, was thinking of those things you pay like £10- 15 p/m for automatic backup to some cold war bunker.
