Small portable external hard drive for your computer. Use it to back up your files from your computer and make more room in your computer. It hooks up to your computer via USB cable. Once plugged into your computer, it automatically turns on or off with your computer. This product is a must for anyone who treasures their photos, videos, audios, ebooks and other files – and need to backup these files for safe keeping.
This is an easy-to-use external hard drive for your computer. It is perfect for storing music, photos, videos and other files from your computer – great for backing up all your files – which is a must if you are like me who has lots of photos, videos and audio in my computer and need to make room in my hard drive for more stuff. It is easy to use – installation is super easy – even for newbies – you just plug the external hard drive to your computer and it installs itself – it loads automatically. It is small, light weight (about 4 pounds only) and you can use more than one if you need to and stack them next to each other. It is very affordable.
Cost is less than $100 ($77 at Amazon) and it is a small price to pay if you have all your files backed up that way if ever your computer crashes, you have your info backed up. It is very handy – you can easily move it from one location to another. It needs to be plugged into electricity though – it does not operate with batteries – so, that is something to consider. Having your files backed up is an important step that a lot of people over look, whether you’re running a home business, organizing your home, or just storing your digital photos, a computer crash and loss of files can cause a great amount of stress. I learned all about it the hard way!

Hi,
First time comment, so please be gentle. I can confirm that the ‘My Book’ is a great piece of kit and very easy to use. It especially came in handy when we had a lightning strike and the PC was fried. Luckily we had done a backup the night before and my son’s school work was saved!
Thanks.

Wow, now that’s a H.D.!
I am still goofing around with my HD video camera with the plan to start putting up lesson’s on my guitar site.
Do to the fact that Youtube will not allow HD video on their site, I would like to at least record in HD(save it until they do) and then upload it using a lower video quality. This could be something that I could use!
Thanx for the idea.
