[Info] Iomega 1 TB Home Media Network Hard Drive (NAS)
said by onDvine:We want a simple external drive to store digital pictures and back up the hard drives for two Dell computers at regular intervals. One is a Dimensions 2350 running WinXP Home. The other is an XPS 410 running Vista Home Premium. ... Sure would appreciate some educated advice. Thanks in advance.  Take a look at this and see if it is what you are looking for.

This post clarifies what I hope to do with the external drive. However, if a big software investment is necessary to achieve that, taking the time to reformat and reinstall what is safely stored on the drive mentioned in my original post will be inconvenient, but not the end of the world. Neither of our machines are used for business. |

1 edit | A buddy here gave me a link to that recently. I just downloaded it. The external drive we've been looking at is a Western Digital but it might be worthwhile to choose a Seagate model instead and be able to use Acronis TI's Disc Wizard with it. At least that's intended for imaging rather than primarily managing partitions.
Edit: I'll reevaluate Seagate's external drives in the morning. |
