So many people think backing up data is something other people should do but not something they need to bother with. But take it from me; your hard drive will fail one day.

When it does, you will fall to your knees and pray to the technology gods when you realize that all your precious data could be gone forever. I back up my work several times a day and use a rotating number of drives to ensure I am always covered should my iMac’s drive fail. If you don’t have an external drive for backing up your data, get one now! No excuses.

Get into the habit of backing up. If you use a Mac, get some backup software like Belight’s Get Backup Pro . It doesn’t cost much and is worth every penny.

When it comes to external drives for backing up, the new OWC Envoy Pro Mini is a handy solution as it can be used with a wide range of devices. It’s a pocket-sized SSD, which means it’s fast and can provide the performance you’d normally expect from a full-sized SATA drive. It’s ideal for storing all types of data.

Here you can see just how the OWC Envoy Pro Mini can work with two types of USB connectors.
