Title: Data storage advice.. Post by: Jim-D on December 03, 2008, 09:09:42 PM My laptop has become rather clogged and could do with freeing up some space, most of my memory has been taken up by a shed load of music and pictures and was wondering what the best ways to remove and store them were?
Also if i remove tracks from my computer how will that effect my itunes as i have it all imported on there for my ipod? Thanks Jim Title: Re: Data storage advice..

Thanks Jim Do you have a DVD writer Jim? This is a good way. Disks are about 50p each and hold normally 4.7GB each. You could also try a USB storage stick, these are very cheap now. Can't answer the second part, sorry, I download music illegally on to a non proprietary mp3 player, so have no such hassles ;) Title: Re: Data storage advice.. Post by: kinboshi on December 03, 2008, 09:28:43 PM DVDs are good for backup storage - but if you're wanting to constantly move files to and from your laptop, then maybe an external hard drive is a good idea?
