I know, this is a little off-topic, but I ask my question anyway: I am thinking about buying a pocketable, external harddrive with USB connection to my laptop. I intend to put all my digital photos on this harddrive. How reliable are those external hard drives? Someone told me that a hard drive will always fail... the question is WHEN rather than IF.
So should I invest my money in something like that, or rather buy a DVD burner and burn a bunch of disks?
Thanks for any advice. I am running out of storage.
