|  Looking for a good external hd? I want a good external hd for my brother in law. I know I could make one for him but I want one that has good software with it and is user friendly for someone without any computer knowledge for backups. I want a good brand and one with good warranty and easy to use. Thanks.

   | Cheaper to Buy an Enclosure and an Internal Drive. Than to buy a premade.

| I understand that but when you add software it is not. I need something that will make it easy and do auto backups and pushbutton for him. EASY is the key.

| Yea, I don't know how easy Clicking and Dragging Files is.... Thats my suggestion because you will save so much doing this. So what if its not a "One touch" fix. Even Bush and Drag en Drop... (oh, thats right, I did.) But, if you must just go on Newegg, zipzoomfly or price grabber and do your little search for one touch backup Drives.
