i have an acer aspire laptop v5-571p and i want to back my computer up ,if it breaks down,can i buy any suitable external hard drive
 
Solution
as long as the external drive is large enough (at least 750 GB) to store the data you need and the interface is compatible USB 3.0
I suggest a 2.5 inch form factor as there will only be one cable. the external will be powered by the laptop.
most important: USB 3.0
important: capacity
optional: 3.5 inch will need external power (wall wart) 2.5 inch will be laptop powered
