I'm not sure whether this is the correct forum for this.
I need to get a 250-300Gb external HDD for backup.
I was debating whether to go for the Maxtor version or the Western Digital,
but I have seen sketchy reviews for both of them and was wondering if anyone
had any recommendations. My files are rather large. I need daily backups. I
have big files (>100Mb). I need it to be decently fast and not time out in
the middle, and be reliable.
Now I'm wondering whether to just get an internal HDD and stick it in a
caddy, but I don't know whats involved in terms of installation and I'm not
too happy about having to open my computer tower - although as far as I can
see you can get a caddy which connects via USB/Firewire.
I'm completely lost and not very techy so any help would be appreciated -
thanks.
