Copying files to an internal hard drive

Advantages


The drive can be large enough to copy the files to the drive. You see the files that you have saved so you know which files were saved. The files are always accessible.
 
Disadvantages


It is not portable. If you do a reinstall of your data on your main drive and don't disconnect the backup drive before hand, you might accidentally touch the data on the backup drive also. To protect yourself from that happening, you have to open the case and disconnect it. Since you are manually selecting the files, you can overlook a file. This can also be time consuming. As long as the drive is connected, the drive can be infected by spyware or viruses.
