Our summer here in Texas is coming rapidly to its end. We pack up and leave out in just under two weeks. I will be busy shutting down a few systems in development, and making backups onto CDs (some I airmail back to myself, some I carry with me), Zipping up some source code (which I post to an FTP site I have), and this year I will be copying a bunch of development source and tools onto some new external drives I have.
My new external drives come in two flavours, and both are USB connected. The first is a 300Gig internal 3.5″ ATA drive which uses a Sabrent connection kit I learned of on Dave Harm’s blog. I have the bare hard drive fitted into a small metal case adapted for my needs. Works great and the power supply is 110 and 240 volt!
My second one is a small 2.5″ FireLite Smartdisk with 80Gigs. This one is powered from the USB connector and would fit neatly into a shirt pocket.
We spend about three days travelling with overnight stopovers in Los Angeles and Sydney (and just a short 14.75 hours non-stop flight between the two!). Without at least one stopover, the journey is too long.
