Any photographer these days could use massive and redundant data storage… and for a limited time, the noted quality driver maker SeaGate is practically giving it away. I just snagged the 500GB FreeAgent external drive with automated backup software on sale for $99.00!!! Can we say, “w00t”?

So, this thing arrives yesterday, I randomly decide to plug it in and turn on the autobackup feature. It just so happens that it backs up my photo folders. I get home from work today to find… catastrophic windows meltdown!!! Fortunately it appears that all ~100GB of photos are safe… whew!
That’s why I bought the thing, I realized I had stopped backing stuff up when my photos exceeded my puny ancient 20GB external (pretty hefty for when I got it). I did not however realize that such a quantum hiccup of computing fate was just around the corner.
I lucked out… don’t trust that you will too. Back up your drive, NOW.
