Scooter's Storage Solution Suggestions
Do you know someone who needs more hard drive storage space? Too many pictures, movies, games, etc? Maybe you know someone who isn’t backing up their data very well. No matter what your data storage conundrum, we have solutions that will fit the need.
For the more technically inclined out there, I recommend picking up a few of the Seagate Backup Plus Slim Portable USB 3.0 drives. They come in either 1TB or 2TB and can easily be purchased in a set of two or three or as many as you want! Why more than one? These disks make __excellent__ RAID arrays. I have two of the 1TB drives in a RAID 1 (mirrored) configuration. If one drive fails, I can simply swap in another one and be back up and running again. The Seagate drives are small, USB bus-powered, and inexpensive. A RAID 1 array makes for an awesome Time Machine backup destination.
Not as technically inclined, or simply prefer a portable, rugged, super-quick storage option? The LaCie Rugged line of drives is your answer. Available in 1TB or 2TB options, the LaCie Rugged drives also add the option of Thunderbolt. I use a 2TB Thunderbolt LaCie Rugged as my main storage for all my video files and iMove libraries. These are really quick drives and with either Thunderbolt or a USB 3.0 connection, they can be almost indistinguishable from an onboard drive when doing things like video editing or photo editing. They are also truly rugged as their name implies. The cases are very sturdy, and they come wrapped in a nice rubber cushion as well. They’re the perfect solution for storage on the go.
This is only a small taste of what storage options we have available. Check out what we have either “**in store**”:http://www.smalldog.com/retail/visit-us-in-store-at-any-of-our-locations or “**online**”:http://www.smalldog.com/category/Storage_and_Backup.
Emily's Gift Recommendations for under $100
The “**Misfit shine**”:http://www.smalldog.com/wag900002019 is my favorite gift for **$54.99**, it’s a small gift that has a lot to offer! While I am a huge fan of my Apple Watch, there are a few draw back to it that the Shine can offer. The Shine does not need to be charged, it’s water proof , it can track your sleep habits plus all the other great fitness features like heart rate, steps and miles walked. Another great feature to the Misfit Shine is the great color selections available, in addition to being extremely lightweight. I hardly noticed the shine when using it and like the Apple Watch it will automatically sync to its fitness App on the phone whenever it’s near your phone.
I am a huge fan of camping and being in the outdoors, my phone goes everywhere with me and I often discover that I am running low on power with no easy means of charging my phone. The “**Kodiak Mini Rugged Powerbank**”:http://www.smalldog.com/wag900002017 for **$14.99** is a perfect gift for anyone who uses their phone where power might not be readily available. It’s small, lightweight and gives you the added juice you need. Even if you’re not someone who’s using it in the outdoors, it’s perfect for business trips or just long shopping adventures! It’s a small but thoughtful gift that’s sure to make you a lifesaver!
