New Egg Canada had Acronis True Image 2009 on sale for $39.99 so I picked it up.
Now my external hard drive seems to have gone tits up. The computer sees it but when I try to access it, it won't read or write or I get write error messages. Then my computer fails to see it anymore. Any tests I can run to confirm it is done or does what I describe, already confirm it?
Looking at a replacement, I realize I know nothing about hard drives. Do I really need an external or would an internal be better? What speed is best? I see they come in 5400 RPM or 7200. Is there a 10000 external?
