Hi all,

I am wanting to buy a external hard drive to safe my original and modified images from photoshop. Is their any rules that apply to what type of hard drive you buy or will any do. I am not bothered about space, just want the best quality for my images.

Kind Regards Josel

Also should it be firewire or USB, Just worried of any compression that may cause to lose image quality.

Cheers Josel

I believe firewire is faster than USB and you might want to find out how much space your BIOS will recognize cause you might get a hard drive that is 250Gb and your BIOS could only use a 100Gb of the drive. As far as quality, thats all on how save your work not your hard drive.

I use an external drive as backup, I have been using a Maxtor HD(I think?) in an aluminium drive cases, with no problems, mines usb2 but firewire is faster (although mine is pretty quick) Try and get a case with a fan if possible, it helps the life of the drive as they can heat up otherwise.

Most are plug and play, no software needed, just copy and paste across. Wayne
