{CLOSED} Memories Worth Preserving: Win Seagate GoFlex Ultra #GoFlexMemories

by

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!

  5. Oh my I am so out of touch… I back up my photos on a CD/DVD (if I remember) My stack is already huge and I have not done it for a long time. I soooo need something like this.

  13. I so would love this. I currently have them backed up on my laptop and my desktop. But I am afraid that like you if something crashes they would be gone.

  15. my husband is a photographer on the sie so we have have tons of photos to preserve. we sue and online service currently but this would be a great help

  19. At the moment, I’m backing up my essential items on a small flash drive that I keep in my fireproof safe in the closet, but with this I could back up EVERYTHING!

  31. I upload a batch of my favorite photos to Kodak Gallery each month (but I am a bit behind at the moment). That way they are stored somewhere other than my home computer.

  34. I currently am using a usb disk stick to put my photos on, but It is almost full so this would work perfect

  40. I back things up by posting to various photo websites, but that’s not the best way at all…

  41. Right now I am backing up my computer using CDs and it’s a hassle, would love to win this.

  46. I’m currently backing my photos online with Idrive.com.

    But I can *always* use more drive space!!!

  50. I backup photos to DVD and Windows Live Drive which is free with any hotmail account. I also backup critical documents there as well. Once they are stored in the cloud they can always be retrieved.

  60. I upload them to a website right now – would love to win this because we just lost all of them on our computer last week when it crashed.

  71. I am not currently backing up my pictures with anything! I hope nothing happens because if it does I’ve lost 5 years worth of pictures and some are of people I’ll never see again! :(

  86. Right now I pay every month for an online site to save my files. This would be a nice way to save some cash.

  94. Right now, I’m just uploading to flickr.com, but I know that’s not good enough, because they aren’t printable quality when I upload them. I need to be putting them on an external drive!!!

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

  102. I back up my pictures and documents to 2 separate flash drives and put one of them in a fire-proof safe.

  106. … aaaaannddd I just liked your FB page. Can you tell I want this? ;)

    Thanks for an awesome giveaway!

  108. I tweeted this!

  110. We back our pics by burning them on disc, putting them on external hard drive, and making hard copies.

  111. Right now, I use a tiny portable hard drive to back up our stuff. It is quickly getting too full!

  112. Awesome! I’d love a chance to win this. Presently I back up on a stick, which sometimes doesn’t hold enough information.

  121. 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.

  122. Right now, my “backup” consists of uploading the best photos I have to Picasa- not exactly the most sustainable option.

  125. 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.

  135. Thank you for offering this hard-drive storage unit. I have Liked Bargain Briana on Facebook.

  136. What an outstanding giveaway! I am currently not backing up my files anywhere, so I would really love to have this! I have lots of pictures plus documents that I need to save.

  138. I back up on DVD-R right now and even with them I have over 20 GB in picture files on my computer.

  142. 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!

  146. 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!

  152. I just got married, and our wedding photos are all digital. Right now they’re burned onto CDs, but a whole backup drive would be much more convenient to keep them all in one place!

  160. I back up photos by putting them on another machine in the house and putting them on CDs to be stored at Grandma’s.

  165. I back up my pics on the free online storage sites like mozy.com. But they only allow a limited amount and I have reached that limit so this wood be great!!!

  169. We back up our pictures on CDs, but it’s starting to take up quite a bit of space. I would love the portable hard drive!
