I have just bought an external hard drive of 80 GB. What precautions should I take for good performance?
I have been using a pendrive quite succesfully and it has been a great help. In what way can I benefit from an external drive?

bigger, less portable Oct 2, 2007

compared to usb flash drive, external hard disk has bigger capacity. but on the other hand, it is less portable than a usb flash drive due to its size.
as for maintenance, as with other drive, it would be defragmenting the drive.

Hi telefpro,

You should definitely use the disk to set up a backup schedule!

If there was no backup software bundled with your drive, Windows has a basic scheduler that works with most external drives.
The scheduler is usually not installed during a standard installation, but is available on your Windows CD as an extra feature.

Not necessarily less portable Oct 2, 2007

Hi Mulyadi,

Not necessarily less portable - I now have a WD Passport (120 Go ... fine for backing up all of my work) programmed for automatic backup every evening and it's about the size of a large business card. Extremely portable. Pleased with it so far.
