Need an External Drive Black Friday is coming!
Need an External Drive Black Friday is coming!
I use the kind of internal drives that are used in workstation desk tops, except that I use them externally!
My recommendation as to the kind of drives are:
- Seagate Barracuda ST2000DM001
- You can get them in 1, 2 or 3 terabytes sizes
- Or
- Western Digital WD Black, Red or Green and they
- also comes in 1, 2 or 3 terabyte sizes
You’ll need some kind of an enclosure or case for the hard drive:
- I use a Rosewill RX-DU300 2.5" & 3.5" USB 3.0 Hard Drive Docking Bay
- Or you can get a
- Thermaltake BlacX ST0005U
But, there is a wide variety of enclosures available. I like the docking variety as there is no assembly required and it is easy to swap drives! They connect via USB, Get one that uses USB 3.0
Just make sure the enclosure can hold a 3.5 inch esata drive and can handle the terabyte capacity of the drive … most enclosures can handle up to 2 terabytes…
Here is a bunch of enclosures listed as available at newegg.com

The next step up is to get and use a “RAID”
- RAID
- (Redundant Array of Independent Disks), a system of multiple hard drives for sharing or replicating data
Search for these on Google or the search engine of your choice…Black Friday is coming… prices should drop in the next few weeks…
Enjoy!!!

New House is coming along
New House is coming along
as you can see on this You Tube video that my son-in-law uploaded from his phone. Amazing these new technologies...makes connecting and sharing of information so easy-peasy.
I now have roof shingles going on and windows and exterior doors.
Its been cool here in Tampa Florida these first days of January...and all my "sweaters and warm stuff" are packed in storage. I am glad Im here versus back home in Buffalo...but at least in Buffalo - I had gotten used to "layering" and had plenty of turtlenecks etc. Seeing the Bills game (Woo-hoo we won!) on Sunday versus the Colts with the Snow coming down and covering the field, brought back lots of memories (my husband and I were season ticket holders for 20 years) but also made me feel "colder" without all my winter Bills gear on...
it was only about 52 degrees for a "high" on Sunday and breezy...so the wind chill was "chillin" My dd and dsil went to the Tampa Bay Bucs game and had gloves, hats, and warm jackets on.
Heres a pic of me and the kids with their other grandma who is visiting from Texas - we went out to the Tampa Lowry Zoo to see the Christmas Lights and Zoo at night. *I have 4 layers on ;-)
