what is the most durable external hard disk for professional backup?

sami

I own a small business of 10 employees, with one basic server. I need a good backup plan for our files. So I thought of connecting an external drive to the server.
What External Drive do you suggest? It does not need to be portable, so it is ok if it needs power to turn and off. (are external disks with power cables more durable than those with only usb connection?)

Answer
I'd suggest something with a RAID 1 configuration. Like the iOmega StorCenter ix2 200, you can get it in 2, 4 and 6 TB capacities, and connects to your network easily, it even has a built in Cloud server. I use the 4TB one at home to back up files that cannot be replaced like photos and stuff. The added bonus of the this device is that u can also backup the stuff off site from your home if needed.

What type of portable computing device fits my needs?

Kyle

I need a new notebook computer but I would like some advice on which type of computer would fit my needs best. Currently, I have a 2TB 27" iMac, an iPhone 5s, and an AppleTV. I download a lot of music & movies and stream them to my TV via AppleTV. I was considering a 4tb WD MyCloud to store my media in a central location but not sure if it's compatible with iTunes and/or how that process works. Also, will I be able to access my media stored on the MyCloud HD with both my mac and new pc laptop?

I primarily use my current laptop for downloading and streaming movies and music, video and photo editing, and surfing the web. I want something with 15" or larger, high quality display. I need to have enough RAM to ensure streaming media is fast and uninterrupted (No buffering) but I am not sure about what I should do for a hard drive. My first instinct was to buy a laptop with a 1TB drive because I need the storage space but if I buy the MyCloud is that really necessary? I like the idea of a SSD but I can only afford a 128gb SSD. They're expensive but like the idea of it booting instantly. Is it worth the price?

Answer
The iCloud will meet your needs without any problems.
