Build It: External USB 2.0 Hard Drive | |
|
||
| Time: 14:20 EST/19:20 GMT | News Source: ExtremeTech | Posted By: Jared Evans | ||

My system has 240GB on it -- two 120GB physical drives. I say that, not to brag -- I know quite a few people with even more storage -- but because having that much storage creates a major headache: backups. Backing up to CD-RW or even DVD rewritables isn't really an option, except for spot backups of critical documents. This article is broken up into three sections. In the first section, we review external drive options, and discuss why we opted for USB 2.0. In the second, we review our selected drive enclosure, the Belkin Hi-Speed USB 2.0 External Drive Enclosure Kit (FSU209), focusing on drive installation, system setup and performance. Finally we wrap up this story with some conclusions and final thoughts on external drives. | ||
