Icy Box IB-360 Review
Long term usage of the Icy Box IB-360 has shown that it is not reliable. Drives have been corrupted time after time. If you value your data then you will look elsewhere for an external casing.
A recent escapade in hard drive recovery made me realise that I wasn't doing anywhere near enough to keep my system safe. Forget all about viruses and spyware and all the other computer-based threats; if your hard drive goes kaput then you are seriously screwed.
I looked into various backup software programs, but they all required me to spend considerable time burning DVDs. The best backup routine is one I don't need to think about. My attention then moved on to a secondary, and larger, hard drive that could be used to make an exact copy of my primary drive. No hassle, no fuss, and painless recovery should anything go wrong. That's the theory.
