Can I Hook Up Two External Hard Drives?
Okay here it is.
1) i need to back up my data
2)I have four other computers storing data onto mine
3) I want to hook up two external hard drives to my computer via usb 2.0
4) i want the first external hard drive to be the regular data storage for all five computers
b) can external hard drives be shared?
5) i want second external hard drive to act as mirror(back up) of first external hard drive.
All of this in the end would hopefully take the data off of my computer and put it on external hard drive 1 which all computers have access to and external hard dive 2 backs up (mirrors) external hard drive 1.
Is this possible?
Recommendations of external hard drives. Western Digital?
Yes it is, but the mirroring must be done with a software backup solution, since they are usb. And yes, they can be shared just as any other storage device.
