I’ve been blogging for more than a year. I already attended lots of events and travelled into different places. Of course, taking photos is really a must. With all the good photos and documents I use as materials for my blog, I need to make sure everything is stored.
Most of the time, I save my precious digital files and memories on my laptop. I want to keep all my photographs especially those pictures taken from my travel trips. They are all stored in the laptop’s internal hard drive.

As alternative backup for my files, I got Toshiba 500 GB Canvio Portable Hard Drive . It’s a 500GB external hard drive powered by USB 3.0 technology (preloaded with backup software).
