Re: advice needed which external hard drive

Barbara,

External hard drives are a convenient way of creating extra storage space on your system, but be aware that these drives can, and do, fail. Although I'm not trying to use scare tactics here, it is a grim fact, so it is also a good idea to burn CD/DVD back-ups of your images as extra insurance. If the images mean a lot to you, then consider burning duplicates of the discs and store them off-site, in case something should happen to the originals.

Digital imaging has many advantages, and it is cheap and simple to back up all your work should disaster strike.
