Cheap way of storing data or backing up your computer

If you have a large amount of data to store like pictures and movies, or you just need a way to backup your computer, the best way to go is to invest in a Go Drive.  The Go Drive is an external hard drive that plugs into your computer via USB port.  It is made by Seagate and is relatively inexpensive for the amount of storage you get.  You can buy a 500 GB drive for about $100.  Yes, thats FIVE HUNDRED GIGABYTES!  You can store pictures until the cows come home.


If you intend to use Go Drive as a regular hard drive everyday, then I would recommend purchasing a second one so that you can periodically backup the first one.  Why?  Because all hard drives can fail at some point.  If you are using it regularly, it needs to be backed up.
