With nearly every aspect of our existence connected to our computers, laptops, tablets, and phones, we sometimes forget that these devices are still vulnerable to all sorts of issues.

From lighting, to a klutsy move on the dance floor, you can loss some or all of your important files.

I can't tell you how many times a week I see a friend post up on Facebook "dammit I lost my iPhone!" Or "She pissed me off and now my Evo is in pieces!" No matter the situation, one thing is for sure, you will probably lose a ton of really important items.

I was a victim of this for years before I finally caved in and built a formidable RAID setup to backup all my files. From silly phone pics, to paid photography sessions, my backups now have backups.

After losing years of pictures and important documents, I learned my lesson. So to help you guys find a method that will suit, I've listed a few options below. Some are from Best Buy and some are from New Egg. I kept the price under $500 as there are plenty of great deals to be had, even under the $200. 

Included are devices for both Mac and PC. As well as Network Attached Storage devices, wireless, and standard External Hard Drives. Some are USB 3.0 and backward compatible obviously.
