Every single memory is one that I don’t want to lose because of a computer failure! I’ve had it happen before and your heart just drops and you get a sick feeling in your stomach as you try to remember what memories you had saved your hard drive.
Even though I post about all the photo deals, I usually forgot or run out of time to actually take advantage of the offers. All I have is my pictures backed up on my computer. Yes, I do upload lower quality versions often to Facebook or Flickr but if I wanted to print these out the quality wouldn’t be high enough for a good print.
Feel comfortable knowing your precious memories and files are backed up with a portable, flexible storage drive like Seagate GoFlex Ultra. Collective Bias and Seagate sent me the Seagate GoFlex Pro 750 GB drive to test out.
Seagate GoFlex Pro 750GB Highlights
Automatically and continuously backs up files and folders on your computer and enables easy recovery of previous file version. Yes, previous file versions. So if you accidentally delete a file or save over an existing file, you can still retrieve this in a previous file version.- Easily back up files between a Windows based and Mac computer if you have multiple computers with different operating systems in your household.
- Flexibility as you can connect to not only your computer but TV and internet with the USB 2.0 connector. This means you don’t have to lug the entire laptop to the TV to hook up to watch something, you could easily grab the small portable drive and be on your way.
- 750 GB gets you 240,000 digital photos, 12,495 hours of digital music, 750 hours of digital videos, 188 DVD quality movies, or 188 hours of HD Video, which is plenty of space for most households!
- Small enough to fit in your pocket or for safekeeping in a lock box.
Once set up, just plug in your portable drive and your files will be quietly backed up in the background.
If you have memories, music, videos, or other important files you don’t want to lose, you can’t afford to not have a back up system in place. I also recommend a Seagate GoFlex portable hard drive as a great holiday gift idea. You will find these in some really cool, shiny colors!

I have been purchasing jump drives to store my photos on… Probably not smart – my ancient PC could crash anytime…!

We have an older external hard drive. I’ve lost everything before too and it really is devastating. I would love to have this to upgrade our system.
Right now, my “backup” consists of uploading the best photos I have to Picasa- not exactly the most sustainable option.
We just use our laptop, but would love to have something additional.

This is great! One of the products on my list for Black Friday is a portable hard drive. This one looks perfect. Currently I don’t have a solution for back-up, except for the few photos I store on Picasa. Here’s hoping I’m the lucky one.

We back up pictures on CDs & I make some collage posters when we do something special.
I have another hard drive but with 5 kids I am going to run out soon.
We transfer them onto disc, but that makes me nervous too! I always second guess, did they really all transfer? Did I lose some? I would love a hard drive!

I’m not currently backing up my pictures/data. I constantly say I need to, but I never can find the time to do so. This sounds like it would be a wonderful, minimal-time-required way to get the job done. Hope I get to give it a try!
