Backup

Comments about Western Digital� Hard Drives; My Passport�, 500GB; Silver:

I had a dream that someone broke into my office and stole all of my computers and I was completely devastated that I had lost years of work! I woke up that day and started researching ways to backup my work, ie; CAD drawing files. I determined to purchase a "second" Passport. I currently use a Passport to store all of my files for backup purposes, but it remains in my office connected to my computer with files dated since the year 1995. I will now copy files to both Passports and take one to my banks'safety deposit box once per week and alternate those for a continuous backup process.

I purchased this product for a film editing class that I am taking. Most people in the class spent a ton of money but this reasonably priced product works just as well and has adequate storage space. My only con is that it doesnt come with a carrying or holding case.
