Re: Internal or External drive for back-ups?


External is the only ???

why not an 80+ gig added to a vacant connector internal SATA or IDE. No case
cost then.

An internal drive is always on (spinning - unless you disconnect the
power) when ever your system is on - so basically it has the same risk
of failure as your system drive at any time. If you look around,
there are many 500 GB external USB drive (including HD enclosure) for
around 100 bucks or so.
