...data stored in the DVD. MAxtor personal storage is the best and quite affordable solution for that.

Advantages: USB 2.0 and Firewire
Disadvantages: Not the lightest thing around 1.5kg

First of all this HDD id like to say this is a very good HDD but it not to good if your planning to carry it around it ways around 1.5kg and then there's the power cable, the drive is big too 13.6 cm x 6.5 cm x 21.7 cm, so not very portable. The HDD capacity is 300GB but actually is slightly less around 285GB.

Advantages: Fast, quiet, Plug and Play
Disadvantages: Supplied 'back-up' software could be better.

...files and folders to the Maxtor and nothing else is required. If your needs are more demanding, back-up software is supplied, or if you search the Downloads section at the Apple site, simpler alternatives are available - some Freeware. Personally, I found the supplied back-up software unnecessarily complicated and don't use it, but it's worth trying before exploring another route, if for no other reason than you've paid for it and your opinion may ...
...a button can be pressed on the front of the drive and it automatically backs-up to your requirements - install the provided software to use this feature. HOW MUCH IS ENOUGH? 300GB is loads of space to kick around in and some might say overkill. However, in these times of digital photography, home movies, music and software downloads, I'd disagree. Memories can't be replaced and (in my opinion) digital memories are more vulnerable. An extra copy ... Read review
