Back up, is that a style?

Back it up, back it up, back it up - you got it!

And no, I don't mean back up that bootay.

I mean all the ish on your computer. Yes, it's just ish, but generally it's ish you need.

Not only is it trendy to do, but extremely necessary.

When your computer crashes, you don't want to lose your life's work.

So here's a list of sexy, sleek external hard drives - all around the $100 range (usually all the average person needs for personal use) and portable. I recommend buying a portable one because what's the point of investing in something untransportable. Plus, portable doubles as an USB stick, so you don't have to invest in two pieces of technology.



1. WD Passport
Best bang for your buck

I may be biased, but this is my top pick because I love where my passport has taken me. The most memory for the cheapest price and a sleek black, silver and even red interface that matches Macs well - don't worry PC-ers, it'll go along fine with yours too.



2.Seagate FreeAgent Go

My second choice when I looked at external hard drives. Some lower GB models are cheaper than the WD, but Seagate is a little iffy in compability with Macs and don't have as good as reviews as the WD.




3. Toshiba USB 2.0

My third choice is deceivingly appealing because of its attractive design and moderate prices, but it is said to be the less optimal of the three. Slower than the previous two, it still has its perks, but I would only get it for its charmingly good looks.
