How to Backup a Computer Hard Drive

USB Flash Drives

Thumbs up for this trendy — and tiny — storage solution. As the name suggests, USB thumb drives (a.k.a. Flash drives or jump drives) are about the size of your thumb and snap right into an available Universal Serial Bus (USB) port on a Windows PC or Mac. You can copy over data to the drive — currently topping out at 32GB for around $100, but available for as little as $6 for 2GB – then simply unplug the device and pop it into your pocket. Popular USB flash drive makers include SanDisk , Kingston and PNY.
