Greetings,

Want to get external storage for backup.

Pros and cons of solid state vs disc ?

Is an ISO image what I should make to replace a complete system failure ?

I will probably be mostly backing up "My Documents", not many movies or much music on the computer.

Good but simple to use software ..... any recommendations ?

Thanks, Rick

Spending money on SSD just to use it as a backup drive is most likely a waste of money, since you won't access that drive until system failure or something.

A good external HDD Firm which I would recommend is TakeMS.
