Flash Drives
Flash drives, aka thumb drives, are a terrific and inexpensive way to transport data from one machine to another. If I come to your home on a service call I will always plug in my flash drive and copy the tools I use to clean and tune a system onto your PC.
You can use it to carry all of your photos to the grandkids' house or better yet, copy all of your kids' pictures of the grandkids to your thumb drive before you leave their house!!
These devices are also an easy and inexpensive way to back up your valuable data like photos, music, word documents and spreadsheets. My only concern in relying on flash drives for backup is that I am not sure how long they will last, and I worry about that. That's why I have a 1TB external hard drive for backup.
Yesterday I upgraded my largest flash drive. I have had an 8GB drive for some time but purchased a 16GB flash drive at Costco. It was priced at $39 and I had a $7 coupon. Look for sales and buy yourself the largest flash drive you can. Yes, use it for short-term backup of your valuable data, but think about investing in a large external USB-connected hard drive for that. I think my Western Digital 1TB drive was priced at around $130 at Costco yesterday. I noticed that they now have a 1.5TB drive as well!
Please get serious about backing up your data. You will be glad you did.
