<p>Luckily I've never been in a situation where my computer crashes and my information is lost. </p>
<p>I'm looking for ways to keep things stored.
Which online storage sites do you use/recommend?
How exactly do you take care of a physical external hard drive?</p>
<p>Etc</p>
<p>I’ve never had to “take care” of my external hard drive…it just chills out on my desk. You can buy pretty spacious ones that are also pretty inexpensive. </p>
<p>I don’t have any experience with online storage, but am VERY grateful I had the ext. HDD when my laptop finally bit the dust this past semester. Didn’t lose one file.</p>
<p>To be fair, my 15GB of music is what I really care about. It would be a pain to have to rebuild that, since I got most of it from friends. But it takes up too much space on a regular hard drive, so I just plug in the hard drive when I want to listen to music.</p>
<p>Get an external hard drive, don’t really need to do much for care…so stick with that.</p>
<p>yeah all you do is save your information not that difficult.</p>
<p>Dropbox is a good online site for backing up vitals (i.e. papers).</p>
<p>you can buy external harddrives sorta cheap, especially if you get them second hand. i use a mac so there’s an automatic back-up utility, but if you use windows i’m sure there’s something similar. i know that before i go to school in the fall i’m going to set that up. i’ve never had any issues but it seems like everything goes wrong when you least expect it.</p>
