I use a lot of USB thumb drives. They are really handy for doing small backups. Like under 8 Gig of data. What I really like are the USB or Firewire external drives. Especially the small notebook size ( 3.5 inch ) hard drives.
Low Price
The prices for these hard drives start in at $60.00 bucks for 250 Gigabyte capacity. That should take care of most people for a basic data backup.
Multipurpose
Not only can you use the drive for backup, but you can also partition ( divide ) the drive so that you can make it a bootable backup drive to your Mac using Super Duper or Carbon Copy Cloner. That is if you have a USB 2.0 drive and a Mac that will allow you to boot from a USB external drive.
