External Disk Storage Is Really Cheap These Days
There really is no excuse these days not to use an external disk for your backup and imaging strategies with prices where they are. Ever since I picked up a Western Digital MyBook 500gig drive for $140, I’ve noticed that prices are really good on some newer products being announced lately. A couple of recent examples:
Kangaru Solutions is announcing drives ranging from 80GB to 750GB at prices from $95 to $350. Kanagru’s also touting that these are green friendly.
LaCie has announced the Big Disk Extreme+ that includes a RAID 0 array in sizes ranging from 1TB to 2TB with prices from $350 to $850. Firewire and USB interfaces are included.
Those are some pretty amazing prices in my mind for an amazing amount of storage and peace of mind.
