Hi Shopperfan welcome
Mr. Sheepdog, Sir, could you buy an external hard drive plus the software in your post and do the imaging?
Thank You.
I was trying to comapre ones with the same size, a 500gb tiny one is only £49.99 with 3yar warranty and it looks like it does the same thing with auto backup

A lot of the so called back up offers that give you click free or one touch back up, or software to do this, are cheaper.. The difference is that you need to set them up and know how to do this. For the techy its no problem but for the non techy, often, its a non-starter. The one touch back up systems actually need about 30 steps to be registered before they work, depending on brand.
Drag and drop is simple but you need to know where to drag and where to drop.
The TSV from click free is a plug it in and it does it, simple, way to back up.
There is nothing else out there that works the same as far as I can see..
If you know what you are doing and want bigger hard drives then I agree with what has been said, this is not for you...
That looks good but you have to plug it in don't you? I want one that works off the USB alone.
Rule of thumb: portable = USB power, desktop = mains power
portable uses 2.5" drives as in laptops
desktop use 3.5" drives as in desktops and these are cheaper to buy
I can still use the TSV on my desktop can't I?
No probably not D but it's idiot proof which is right up my street and I think it's pretty....... :RUNAWAY: PC:
Yes - they use the same drives but in a case. The cases themselves contain a small circuit board that allows to be used via usb. The TSV containing a 2.5" laptop drive, takes all its power from the USB port as the hard drive has a low power requirement. The larger 3.5" desktop drives require 7v-12v and current that the usb port doesn't provide enough hence you get a power brick and its not that portable.
Oh and anything you can connect to a laptop you can connect to a desktop, if you know what to look for!
