yeah but look at the price that is how much it will cost me to pick it up in person
anyway i was reading the reviews and it doesn't sound like a good idea to order from the supplier everyone and i do mean almost everyone had a bad experience so i rather just get it myself 30 min round trip drive no biggie
Sure i would do the same as you .. Got mine from Argos over a year ago and its still running well
You and me three. That's one reason I have a 3.5" and a 2.5" dock built into my desktop machine (the other being convenience). I only use USB sticks if I need portability or I'm moving only a few, small files to my notebook. If I have very many files going to or from my notebook, or they are large, I will dig out one of the little USB powered docks I have and snag one of my 7200 rpm 2.5" drives to make the transfer with. I would use Wi-Fi but setting it up every time (I use the notebook only occasionally) would usually be more hassle than it would be worth (not to mention not noticeably any faster).
An external HDD is actually much safer than an internally mounted HDD for backups so you are on the right track. I use internal type HDDs for my backups but they are used as external HDDs. I store them in a drawer (my setup is a bit anal and expensive but it's convenient and I'm lazy) and plug them into an internal dock only during the backup. That way, if something blows up inside my machine or I get a data corrupting virus, the backup is safe from harm.
It's mostly for games and that
Now i face the challenge of cloning the D drive to the new drive or see if i can make it work without changing anything i am like you kind of lazy lots of work
It's not a bad thing ever i just pride myself as always on the move and not wasting any moment to relax
I guess my Father taught me well he is a Country boy from Mississippi I'll have you know my Mom is from Alabama those hard working ethics rubbed off on me
I went with a smaller drive by the way i re arranged everything and it's perfect if i need another hard drive i will get one later right now i am doing plenty good
