Back-Ups

I just recently acquired a 1 TB Western Digital MyBook Esstential external HDD.  The reason I bought this gadget is that I’ve got a lot of stuff in my PC (files, documents, downloads, videos, music, applications, and programs) that are begging to be transferred to another location before I will reformat my PC and install the copy of Windows 7 Ultimate that I acquired in the “hunt for points” game from Microsoft Philippines.  As I am writing this article, I am also currently backing up almost 400GB worth my files into my new hard drive! I started the back-up process at 8pm and until now it’s 11:41pm already and i still have more than 90 GB to to transfer.

It’s my first time to back up such large amount of files! And I also realized that having a hard drive with big capacity in my PC makes me comfortable but it gave me the hassle of backing up my files!  By the way I have 2 hard drive in my PC, a 250GB Hitachi HDD and another 250GB Samsung HDD and sad to say the the two drives are almost full! So you can see my dilemma now, that i can’t just reformat my drives and wipe out all my files!  It’s a good thing that I already have an external HDD (thanks Mighty)!
