[QUOTE="aroy, post: 370091, member: 16090"] I use external HDD for back up. As time goes, I have accumulated a fair number of disks - 160GB to 750GB. I have transferred all my archival data (one that I may need but not used for the last year or so) on to two sets of disks. I check them every six months. For current data I use external USB drives - two USB2 and one USB3. The best part is that the USB2 disks have at least twice the throughput on USB3 port compared to the USB2 port. In future, I will invest in 2TB USB3 drives and relegate the older drives for archival storage. I also have over 500 DVD and 200 CD full of legacy satellite data, which I plan to transfer to 2/3 TB external disks. As that is an extremely tedious process I am avoiding it now, but will have to bite the bullet some time. [/QUOTE]
