>>any thoughts on where to get the lowest price per GB for external drives?
Hi Joel,
I'm using a 500Gb Western Digital external drive here in the office [1]. I think it's a 'My Book' thing, maybe? No complaints. Scary quiet. Had it a few months now. Only have 30-35Gb on it so it should last me quite a while. They seem to be running about $100. Thinking of getting a second to alt-swap-backup and keep offsite at home. Alternate months or something.
Amazon says the 1Tb drive is about $140 ... so that's a better dealio.
>>or, I'd consider brilliant alternatives.
Download a nice splitter utility and store your stuff across a number of gmail accounts? And/or a number of 'cloud' [2] computing service accounts?
[Youse guys specialitize in keeping things organized, right? Piece of cake! [3] ;-P]
HTH,
RonL.
[1] Mostly to circumvent the 50Mb individual file limit we've configured for SharePoint(Less). Grrr.
[2] Once they get to Lenticular ... I am sooooo there! ;-)
[3] And speaking of cheesecake ... Currently bummed a bit over the recent loss of Ms. Bettie Page.
