Seagate Technology 200 GB USB 2.0 and FireWire External Drive ( ST3200823A-RK )
The Perfect Mirror....
If you have not yet suffered a complete and total hardrive crash, just wait , you will.  Be prepared with an exact copy of all your data with this Seagate External Drive.  Setup is as easy as plugging in to a power source and a USB or Firewire port.  Using a USB port I copied 30 gigabytes in far less than two hours.  It's a great feeling knowing that everything is backed up.  Options allow you to be selective so that regularly scheduled backups only require a few minutes.<br /><br />  A few reviewers' complained about the noise, it's minimal during backup and afterwards there is a neat little on/off switch on the back.  I suspect that the drive noises that you hear after backup are all those little pieces of software attempting to \\"call home\\" as they do on your internal drive.  This unit is cheap insurance against the day that you get the blue screen of death.  A software upgrade, there's always a slight catch, allows the external drive to become a bootable device.  Buy it and use it for your peace of mind....Lynn Stubblefield, Nashville, TN
