Ok I can see why you use the service but I think Oldsolider wants to keep costs down and personally if his friend has 2TB he needs stored he will need an new machine just to index all that stuff. Windows 7 can not read any drive over 500GB.unless he can update his BIOS to reconize a HDD over 500G...

From what I gather that may not be possible as the BIOS may not be avaialbe any longer.

That was really a general “by the way” to anyone else reading the thread.  

I met with OldSoldier yesterday and passed along some equipment - eagerly waiting to hear from him as to how it went

Yes OK see your point on the BTW personally I would go for the portable as no need for Internet connection or reliance on speed of same.

I have over 10TB stored in the cloud, sometimes it takes a while to access it even with a fiber connection
