Keeping Everything in a Safe Place
I may be the worst at backing up my data regularly, but a 1 terabyte (read: 1000 gigabytes!!) external hard drive is perfect
for backing up large volumes of information for a small price. This improves professional productivity because all of your documents and files can be backed up in one safe place in an easy, convenient manner. In combination with incremental backup software, teachers can set up an automatic weekly or bi-monthly schedule so that your computer only backs up new drive changes such as new flipcharts, PowerPoints, or photos. This means backups are more current, and lost files are less likely.
My recommendation is the Western Digital WD Elements SE 1 TB USB 2.0 Portable External Hard Drive. The Western Digital (WD) external hard drive is a small, portable storage space for backing up data of all sorts (music files, documents, photographs, etc.). Much like a flash drive, an external hard drive uses the USB port for connectivity and power and holds 1 TB, or terabyte, of data. One terabyte is equal to 1024 gigabytes (GB)—that’s the size of 500 2GB flash drives! You can even find them around $60 on eBay.
