Storage


Question Posted Friday September 18 2009, 10:13 pm

I currently have about 28GB of photographs and need somewhere to store them. There will be more to come. They're saved onto CDs right now, but the whole thing is getting tedious what with CDs not holding very much. Would a 64GB flashdrive be a good investment? What else can you recommend? I'm hoping not to spend over a hundred dollars, but I'm willing to if necessary. I don't want to lose these pictures!!

a 64GB flash drive would work.. but it might be better to just go with an external hard drive. They're bigger physically, but they also will hold a lot more for your money.

Just get another hard drive; they're cheap. I like Western Digital:

You need to examine (or have someone else examine) your motherboard specifications to determine what hard drive interface you require. The ones I linked won't work unless you motherboard supports SATA 3.0Gb/s. If you buy an OEM hard drive like those you'll also need to buy power and data cables separately.

If you need portability, just put a hard drive into an external enclosure like these (compatible with the drives I linked before):

Contact me by IM if you need any help.
