After as many times as my hard drive has crashed the past couple years, you’d think by now I’d have purchased a reliable external hard drive. Well, you’d be wrong.

Largely that’s because novels are tiny and I have an 8GB flash drive and while it certainly won’t store everything on my hard drive, it does a very nice job of storing all my critical files, and was only $20 compared to $80 or so for a decent 500GB hard drive.

Hope to still get an external hard drive at some point, but right now, it’s just not in the budget.
