cheap reliable storage.

**VonErich Lives** · 08-02-2005, 08:00 PM

Want to flatten and reload my computer. Rather then a bunch of CD's would rather upload all my crap. I use an online backup company, but for 50gig even though I just need it for a few days if that, they want like $100.00 for the month.

Anyone know of a cheap RELIABLE online storage where I can easily put and retrieve like 50gigs?

why use online storage? That's the worst way to do it.

The whole external hard drive is a load of bull.

Find a good deal on a 200 GB EXTERNAL hard drive, and buy a 3.5" enclosure. I did it this way and I only spent $100 ($80 for the hard drive, and $20 for the enclosure).

I wasn't sure if he'd want to do that.

sounds like an idea.

I do the on-line backup every night for my business files. I need something off-site, so if there's a fire I will have disaster recovery.

Yeah, guess buying a HD to move stuff to and rebuild the computer and then I'll still have the HD is better then paying the same money for space I'm just going to use once.

thanks for the links!
