Would you feel inclined to elaborate? I'm trying to solve this
problem for my
granddaughter's large HDD, and am not keen to have to buy a 300GB
external
drive. Tar would still require a fairly large medium. :-(
Certainly not a name-brand pre-built model!
However, empty external enclosures can be had for less than $20 at all
the regular mail order places. Just slip a "big" drive in there and
bob's your uncle!
