chook1 184 Posted January 30, 2012 Report Share Posted January 30, 2012 I put my pics on Cd when i get a few folders on my laptop. Was thinking of getting a hard drive but got stacks of CD's so why pay for a HD if I don't need to ?? Because disc's can get damaged more easley and you dont have to wait till you get a few folders on your laptop just connect up and transfer them over, saves time, energy and money. Tbh i wouldnt be with out my external now, it means i can keep all my pictures safe and get most of the crap off my computer and on to that. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
