I have a Dell XPS 400 with:
160GB Serial ATA Hard Drive (7200RPM)
MEMORY: 1GB DDR2 SDRAM at 533MHz and Raid
256MB ATI Hyper Memory PCI-Express X16 (DVI/VGA/TV out) Radeon X600 SE
Hello :roll:
I hope I'm in the right forum for my subject :?:
I am looking into the best way of creating hard drive space
to protect my scheduled back-ups & for safely storing and
protecting my precious photos & important files.
The first suggestion I received is to add an additional,
new & bigger internal hard drive to the 160 gig hard
drive my Dell XPS 400 came with.
The Second step would be to take my older 598MHz Dell XPS T600
with Intel Pentium III &:256MB RAM Memory & replace the existing
small & old hard drive currently in it with two new & of course
bigger hard drives. Although I have no idea what size hard drives
this old computer is capable of comfortably supporting.
My question is, how good is this option? Would it be wise to invest
& use three new hard drives to connect my two computers as a back-up
system to keep my scheduled back-ups, photos & files safely? Or is
there a another, better/wiser way to create the safety and protection
I need? I am very open to any suggestions as there could be better
options out there for me.
I am not experienced or rich enough to make this decision blindly.
Thanks you all.
