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.
