Recently I read an article about a photographer who detailed what he brought when he went on assignments. One of the items was a laptop computer, for "copying and backing up picture files" he's taken. I guess he has a strong back to lug that behemoth around. Some camera backpacks even come have pockets to accommodate laptops. Too bad this character never thought of the JOBO GIGA Vu SONIC. No one seems to agree on what to call these gadgets. One company refers to them as "photo safes." Another tags them as "photo storage devices." JOBO calls its GIGA Vu SONIC model a "picture storage device," so we'll go with that. What it does is similar to the JOBO Spectator: it allows you to insert[..]

First, let's take a look at onsite backups. Clearly, the single greatest advantage that onsite backups have over remote data backup is speed. With LAN speeds of up to 1Gbit, and USB 2.0 clocking in at 400Mbps (with USB 3.0 and speeds of up to 4.8Gbps just starting to make it into some hardware), the ability to speedily backup your data to a network resource is the killer app for local backups.

Hard Drives Hard drives are the storage medium in desktop and laptop computers as well as all servers and mainframes throughout the world. A hard drive is a piece of hardware that reads and writes data on a hard disk. Hard disk drives for personal computers generally have seek times of about 12 milliseconds or less. Many hard drives improve their performance through a technique called caching. There are several interface standards for passing data between a hard drive and a computer. The most common are IDE and SCSI. Although removable disks encased in cartridges use the same "hard" disk media and a similar drive technology, they are mostly called "removable drives" rather than hard[..]

When personal computers first went mainstream back in the mid 1990's, the external storage medium of choice was the 3.5 inch floppy drive.

In recent years most computer manufacturers have ceased including floppy drives in their product lines altogether. While floppy's are still widely used in certain professions such as the music and theater industry for lighting consoles and drum machines their use is rapidly declining. Next came the compact disk or CD as a medium for mass external storage. CD-ROM's are still quite widely used for file back up[..]
