You absolutely need to backup your data! The geek needs a cool way to do this so there are is the Western Digital MyBook Studio. This thing has Firewire 800 and USB 2.0 for connectivity. If you have only your computer then this is a really nice way to backup your data.
Western Digital has a few models out there, some less fancy and some more portable but this one is there Cadillac. Featuring support for Windows and OSX along with a cool little LCD display give you drive information, this model takes the geek factor up a notch.
My most recent version of MyBook that I bought has a backup software included with it that I think everyone should use. If you don’t have something built into your OS (ie. WinXP) then it’s a good solution. It does all the regular things like allowing you to choose what to backup and when.
There isn’t much else really sexy about backing up. It’s like doing laundry, you just have to! But if you are going to do your laundry then do it with a MyBook Studio :)
Geek on!
