Hello!
I want to buy a safe external disk for my Lenovo T520 laptop. I've been looking few hours already on the internet, but I'm still not sure what to buy!
The disk should have following feature (listed from the higher priority):
- Safe ! It will be used for data storage, but also for data backups . I like traveling, so it must be SSD or HDD with some kind of free fall sensor protecting it from fall, hit, shock. I think that a good, solid enclosure with rubber protection would be desired.
- FireWire port. I have Lenovo ThinkPad T520, it doesn't have any USB 3.0 port nor eSATAp ( Power over eSATA ), so FireWire is probably the only good option for me which is fast and does not require external power source. Also the enclosure of disk rather should have USB 2.0, so it allows to connecting the disk to some older laptops which don't have FireWire. I am not sure if such solution requires external power source or second USB cable ?? I might be wrong, but I think that using AC for external disks is not convenient, is it ? I have normal eSATA, so maybe this is also an option too, I'm not sure.
- Low price ! It should be relatively cheap. I'm not giving any limits, because prices in the country I live (Poland) might be different. Probably normal HDD, because SDD with 256MB of capacity are too expensive for me.
- Relatively fast. I use SDD 128 GB as a main disk in my laptop and I REALLY appreciate it's speed. It is Micron ATA C300-MTFDBAK128M , not one of the fastest, but I'm still really happy with it.
- Silent. I don't like any strong vibrations as it feels that hard disk is not safe when it's all shaking.
- Minimum 256 MB of capacity, however a bigger one would be appreciated.
Thank you for you suggestions
