My Book 1 Terabyte External Hard Drive
After checking Frys.com and some other sites, I found a decent deal on a Western Digital 1tb external hard drive from samsclub.com. It was $124 plus $10 tax and around 6 bucks shipping. It arrived in about 3 days via USPS.
Hooking it up was simple; plug in the power supply; plug in the USB cable (USB 2.0). There were about a third of a gig of installation and manufacturer files on the drive that I see no value in, so I archived them for a few months until I finally deem them useless and delete them.
My purpose for the drive is to…
- Backup my family’s various computers using GoodSync backup program,
- Backup my family’s photo collection,
- Have adequate storage for the various video editing projects I am getting into.
There are a lot of sub-1tb externals out there, but I wanted to have at least 1tb to start with since more and more programs and technologies are promoting and using larger amounts of photos and video. Mine is black, but I see that WD has a 2tb white one on their website.
