Every day, I get a couple emails from photographers asking me about this or that. From time to time a question pops up over and over and I think to myself, "Why don't I answer this on the blog?!"
Today's question if from Christopher Nolan - NOT the director. ;) I met Christopher two Octobers ago in Little Rock when Becker and I had a little photog-gtg. Christopher and Nancy were sweet as could be and we chatted most of the night.
Here's his message:
"Hey Dale hope everything is going well with you. Seem to be quite busy (as usual). I am about to buy another back up drive and wondering what type of external hard drives you use and have had good and bad luck with. I need a 1TB and firewire 800. I really value your opinion and thoughts. Thank you"
Here's my answer!
The LaCie Rugged All-Terrain 1 TB FireWire 800/FireWire 400/USB 2.0 Portable External Hard Drive
and here's why... if you don't get a hard drive that is rugged, you're gambling with your future! Seriously! Other hard drives can be SO flimsy!! One falls off a table and everything on it can be non-recoverable! The pups are TOUGH!! Sure, they're more money; but then again anything is that is of high quality!
I'm not sponsored by nor do I receive any benefit from referring LaCie (um, I wish I did!!), so there is no bias in my answer.
Peace out!
Talk to you soon,
Dale
