Your Backup Solution?

If you want a HD that works both on Mac & Windows bud then you'r limiting yourself already. As there are only 2 HDs released from a decent/well-known brand (Western Digital)
But if you wanted a HD for each PCs; Mac & Windows then it can be done. You should be able to get 2 decent HDs bud.

What do you want to do?

Hmm, well considering I go back and forth between uni and home a lot, and uni is all macs and I have all microsoft at home, I'd be interested to know what the two hard drives from WD are? :)
 
Hey HiJoshua, its good to hear from you bud. Give us a minute and I shall check around for you. Also with a budget between $150-$200 you should be able to get 2 decent HDs.
I assume Uni will need to have more storage as you are studying and video files can be huge. So I shall bare that in mind. Also there are two types of HDs;- Portable & Desktop. Ideally Uni HDs should be Portable which means you only require a USB Port for the HD to work. But for home I recommend using a Desktop which requires a Power Socket & USB Port. So I shall also bare that into mind.

Give us few minutes bud and I shall get back to you. :)

Hey lanadekat how are you doing bud? Yea Western Digital have had some issues in the past with their Internal HDs but that was few years ago.

I've just been using Dropbox, but this thread has got me making another backup on my external HDD haha :D No harm in creating an extra backup I'm sure :)
 
Hey SubjectSarah how are you doing? It's good to see this thread has helped you :)
And no there's no harm on creating extra backups. Actually you should setup a "Schedule" backup daily for instance as your important files/folders will be backed up automatically.

Hey, can't complain thanks hope you're doing well too. :) Yeah I use Dropbox which is excellent, but I think it'll definitely be worth having an extra backup just in case- as this thread points out, online companies could always go bust or have an internal failure one day. So I made a backup of my backup hahaha :D
 
Hey, its good to hear your good :bounce: . I have numerous backups as I have many HDs mainly External but one is Internal but it's connected to a docking station which has a "schedule" backup plan. I've never used dropbox as it will take only few seconds for me to fill the storage for a "free" user. One 720p video is just over 4gb's lols.

Definitely, videos can take up a lot of space. I have one of the Dropbox subscriptions which I think is great for the space and cloud-style convenience, but I know that subscription storage services aren't for everyone. It took me a few weeks of umming and ahhing before taking the plunge and subscribing. I'm pleased I did it though, and would recommend it to anyone thinking about getting it; it has been incredibly useful and worth it to me time and again, but I figure there's always no harm in backing up the backup!! :D:D
 
Hey, I'm using Drapbox as a "free" user and its great, you can download the App almost on any platform whether it's on a desktop pc, android, tablet etc just amazing. But for me it won't be ideal as I have large files. Currently my YouTube Folder is over 600gb! lols
