Q: recommendation for external USB disk

[Erich Dollansky]

Hi,

just buy the hard disk of your choice and put it into the case of 
your choice.

I use only disks which come with five years warrenty.

After a bad experience, I use as many slices as the machine uses I 
take the data from. I also backup the programs.

Then, I use for the external disk the same interface which I can 
use in the machine. So, if the internal hard disk fails, will be 
able to exchange the disks and boot. Ok, fstab might needs to be 
edited.
