Hi Damien,
A big variable in choosing a backup solution is the size of the data that you intend to backup. Do you have any ballpark figure on the size of your data?
Quick point/question…..if this is going to be your main storage…do you have at least one other backup drive?
If I was you I’d nearly get two smaller sized external hard drives (rather than one large external hard drive), one for storage and one for backup.
You need a mains powered USB hub. Something like the following should do the job. They arent that expensive either. http://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B006Z061HU?gclid=CMaAluGhpa4CFcFO4QodhjYOmA” onclick=”window.open(this.href);return false;
