External Hard DrivesExternal Hard Drives are Becoming More PopularExternal hard drives are becoming very popular today as a means of backing up data replacing CD-RWs and even tape drives. Most of the major hard drive manufacturers are now offering external hard drives as part of their product line. Some external hard drives contain a special chassis that not only protects the drive from vibration and shock, but allows the drive to be mounted vertically or stacked, one external hard drive over another. External hard drives are also engineered to dissipate heat. Some external hard drives are hot-pluggable, and feature both an IEEE 1394 "FireWire" interface as well as a USB 2.0 connector. External Drives Great for System Back UpsThere are external hard drives designed to allow users to back up their data with the push of a button. Users can schedule backups and do basic restores of data. Some external hard drives have a backup button that lights up when first used, then fades out when the backup is completed. There are also external hard drives which back up all of the data on the drive when first used, then update the backup with new files or changes that are made to the stored data.
