Hard drive. USB2. Cheaper per gigabyte, you own it rather than rent it, no internet connection necessary. Consider how long it will simply take to upload all your stuff. Assume 2.3MBit upload (ADSL2+ with Annex M). You have 200GBytes = 204,800MBytes = 209,715,200KBytes = 1,717,986,918,400 bits to upload. At 2,300,000 bits/sec, that will take 746,950 seconds = 12,449 minutes = 207 hours = 8.6 days. Even with fibre broadband (10Mbit/sec?) it will take you two or three days. Or, you can expect ~250Mbit/sec write from any old USB2 hard drive you buy, so you'll be done in an hour or two. Of course, if you have access to a decent internet connection, and there's no problem your using it for personal stuff, or you're just more patient than me, online storage has much to commend it. |
