Good point. I left it out only because I assumed most people searching Google on this topic (yes, this is another search log-inspired entry) had already thought of USB drives and didn’t want to use those. But I have one and use it, so I can vouch for it as a good solution for holding data, or even software in a pinch.

Yes it is slow by comparison, but if it is only used for data. Worked pretty well for me when my internal data drive failed and I worked off of the external backup drive for a few days until I got the internal drive replaced and repopulated.
