Just to add my 2p worth, I recently purchase a Dynamode usb2 2.5" hard drive caddie, it works extremely well and is dirt cheap!
http://www.dabs.com/ProductList.aspx?fb=144 It is basically a nice aluminum box with a circuit board that plugs on to any 2.5" hard drive you have laying around, plug it into a usb socket and you have lots of easy to move around disk space. (Takes all the power it needs from the usb socket, no drivers required) Will take a max capacity of a 80gb drive which is perfect for now. ;) My collection comes in at about 55gb so this is a very cheap and efficient storage method. I now have 3 backups of my pictures and mp3s, and because you can easily remove the hard drive and put a new one in it, I store the hard drives one in my car and one in the office. 2.5" 80Gb hard drives are about £30 each :) I was thinking of all kinds of expensive backup solutions, but now I will stick with my Maxtor Shared Storage NAS and use these to backup my data. :) There is also a 3.5" caddie version and everyone has at least a few hard drives laying about! I guess you could also buy two and have 80gb in each and have a backup capacity of 160gb! -- cparker ------------------------------------------------------------------------ cparker's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=2083 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=32487
