Hi everyone,

I would like to know where I can get an external hard drive for a decent 
price for my old Dell.  I want to back up all my files and some programs and 
then reformat the old hard drive.  I looked at some portable ones that ran 
around $80.00 at Best Buy but they did not hold as much data I think.  I do 
have movies and lots o f pictures to back up.

Also he it would not transfer as fast since my old Dell probably used a usb 
1 or 2 port?  I have a laptop also that most likely uses usb 3 port the 
sales guy told me.  But some of the desktop models were like $150.00.  They 
had lost of storage but "ouch".

Also would like to know if BC wipe is still a good free program for wiping a 
drive.

Christy
