Yes if you only backing up about 225gb of data. After formatting you will loose a bit of storage, and you need to leave about 3% free so there is no danger of data loss.

Yes, I've done it. You can also save your hard drive as an ISO file to clone if you have the right software.

It should work just fine. However, if your computer has USB 3.0 you might want to look at that version if it is on sale.

U can bk up 256GB of memory with each jump drive u use. Well really it 239GB. there's like 17GB that can't be used.

dallasdude · Answer

Idk how much memory ur talking abt, but it can bk up 256GB worth of memory. It actually is an external hard drive. My laptop has 750GB of internal memory. I would need 3 of these to bk up my memory, but yes it's a very good compact portable durable storage unit.

You could do that, but an actual backup hard drive would be way safer than a flash drive.
