Hi Sandi,
I have all three types<G>
dual internal hard drives so I can backup my main
drive to my larger backup drive.
 
I also have my main hard drive on a removable drive racks,
I have another identical drive in another 'caddie' that
fits
in the removable drive bay that is a clone of the main
drive.
 
5 of my computers are fitted with these drive bays.
I have about 8 caddies with various drives fitted into
them.
I bought my 4 =3D 20 gig Maxtor drives all at the same time
to be sure they were identical.
I did the same with 2 =3D Maxtor 80 gig drives.
 
Recently I swapped one of the 80 gig drives into one of
my older computers and put a Maxtor 300gig into the case.
 
The removable clone is kept at my mom's and only
brought here for cloneing once a month.
 
The 3rd backup is a 300gig USB external drive with
clone d images of my 3 computers on it.
I try to back them up once a week.
The drive is unplugged and kept in my filing cabinet
when not being used.
 
I also have an older, 2years, Maxtor 120 gig USB drive
that is my 'in use' drive and moved to whatever computer
I need to move or saved data from.
 
I have a metal storage cabinet in my garage which is
6ft high 20" deep and 3ft wide full of computer
components
I have saved/replaced/removed from old computers.
 
Yes I have a plastic pocket protector, with several pens in
it.
and my glasses have tape on them <Very Big Grin>
 
When I went to the Microsoft Vista intro I got the official
MS shirt with NERD on the back.
 
Cheers

So can you tell me the advantages and disadvantages of the

the internal?  I know nothing.  Just thought the external
would be more
secure and not blow up at the same time the original

south.  Also easier to grab and run with it in case of fire
or tornado or
other disaster.  Am I right about that?
Sandi
P.S.  I have never opened the case on my computer and
probably never will
unless I need to clean out dust bunnies.

For all intents and purposes, I only have the one I'm using
right now, but 
it's partitioned, multi-booted and multi-tasked to the max. 
It's my work 
machine, my Gaming PC, my MP3 jukebox, my Graphics
processing plant, my 
Audio conversion tool, my music studio, etc..  There are
several other 
systems here (perhaps 7 or 8) laying around and tons of
parts, but I haven't 
finished setting up my computer workshop in the garage yet. 
At least 
slightly warmer weather will be required for that.         
:O)

Peace,
GMan
