Got A Wester Digital 500 GB External Hard Drive

I got the 500 GB external hard drive shipped to me this weekend. It is the Western Digital 500GB My Book Essential 2.0 - USB 2.0 External Hard Drive WDH1U5000N as described at Amazon.

With the tons of artwork, videos and other data I am creating, I have started to grow a bit paranoid with loss of that data. And that was the drive for this investment.

I don't think I will be using the auto sync feature because I would want some control over what goes and what does not into that drive. I basically needed a large chunk of storage where I can put copies of my works from my laptop. Now, all that remains is to organize my data, and back it up.
