Review & Giveaway: Clickfree External Hard Drive
**This giveaway is now closed. Be sure to check out our other giveaways!**
Over the past few months my very well used laptop really started deteriorating and actually crashed several times. Luckily I was able to restore it without losing any of my files but I became more concerned the the next time I might not be as lucky and could possibly lose ALL of my precious photos I had organized on my computer. I would be heartbroken if I lost all the pictures of my son since he was born.
First I tried backing them up to a CD but I couldn’t fit very many photos on it and it wasn’t going very smoothly and I soon gave up. Then I heard about Clickfree. Clickfree is a backup storage device designed for people exactly like me! You don’t have to have any knowledge of computer technology. All you need to know is where your USB port is. Right out of the box, all you have to do is plug it in and it automatically backs up ALL your files. I couldn’t believe how simple it was! My pictures are safe! I was able to transfer them easily to a new computer so that I could still work on my digital scrapbooking.
The Clickfree came in handy again when my husband bought a new ipod touch. All of our music files were stored on an old dinosaur of a computer that is extremely slow and hard to work with. I just plugged in the clickfree and it backed up our music and I was able to transfer it to our new, much faster computer and load them on to the ipod. Now all of our music and photos are safe on the Clickfree and we have everything we need in one place.

I need this for pictures my computer recently crashed and I did not have my little one’s pics backed up. Thank goodness for shutterfly website. I would love to have a safety net for all Brea’s pics.
my husband makes electronic music and he’s always running out of space!
Oh this would be a dream come true. I have my old laptop that is close to dying that has so much of my written works on it and photos, and then my new laptop also has a lot of photos on it.
This sounds like such a breeze to use too!
Seriously, the clickfree would provide some serious backup for all of my pictures and videos. it seems that is all i do is take pictures. I can’t imagine if I lost them.
Thanks for the contest!

I really need to back up my files more regularly – and something nice like this would make it a lot easier!
i would love this i have so many pictures on my computer i would like to save safely..please count me in :)
I’d love to be able to back up my music and pictures. I’m always worried about something happening to my computer and losing those files.
I’ve unfortunately gone through a total hard drive failure and did not have a backup. I lost a lot of precious photos of my sons. It was a hard lesson to learn. I would love to have extra storage to backup the important things like my photos, my documents, and my music.

I need because I recently lost all my pictures for no reason at all. Since we never figured the reason, it may just happen again.

Right now, my computer is just loaded down with pictures, music, and files. This would be perfect for me!

Wow, I absolutely NEED one of these! I just began organizing my music on my computer and it would be tragic if I lost it. I don’t have any way to backup my files right now and a ClickFree would be the perfect solution.

I would love to win one.
This is a perfect way to save data from the next inevitable Vista crash.
I need this to back up and save all of my pictures and files. I live outside of New Orleans and know so many people that lost everything, including their computers, during Hurricane Katrina.
If I had one of these great external hard drives then I could just take it with me if I have to evacute for another hurricane.
Thank you for the great giveaway.
Wow! Great giveaway. My computer crashed which I need for my job hunt and can’t afford a new one. A friend is letting me use an old one but the hard drive is way too small…only 4 GB which means I can’t really save any of my work on the hard drive as the software takes up all the memory. This drive could really help me in the job hunt. Thank you for your consideration! cherylaka @ Gmail.com
I really need this. I have been thinking about purchasing something like this to back up my files and pictures which i treasure so much.

Besides photos, mp3s, and everything else mentioned, I’m a writer and I have several irreplaceable manuscripts on my computer. If I lose them… well, I don’t even want to think about it!! This device would at least give me peace of mind that my files are safe. I would also suggest to others that backup drives and devices should be stored away from the home whenever possible, as a precaution against fire or natural disaster destroying your backup.
I could really use this to back up all my photos.
Thank you,

Not only do I have a ton of photos to back up but I also have files on all of my rental properties. Losing those would be a disaster.
Took us 8 years to finally get pregnant and when I had her, I swore the entire first year of her life would be on record. I either took a video or a digital photo. I have thousands from that first year alone. She’s almost 6 now and I had a nightmare the other night that I lost them all. This would be perfect for helping save the memories!

To back up pictures of my grandkids. I can’t imagine what it would have been like if I’d had a digital camera when my own kids were little.
I don’t have an external hard drive and I have a couple thousand photos and CDs on my computer, making everything SLOW…
I need a Clickfree because NONE of my pics are backed up. I don’t have the patience to burn a new cd full of pictures everytime I add some more to my file.
My computer is about to go out and I could really use this. It has been serviced several times and I know that I need to back up everything as soon as possible. vidomich(at)yahoo(dot)com
All my documents and pictures before my computer dies.

I need this to backup all of my precious photos and videos.
I need this so my grandson can back up his music instead of it taking up a ton of space on my computer.
We have way too many files, pictures, etc.

I need it to back up my taxes.

The Clickfree sounds like the perfect solution to protect my precious files and pictures on my computer. I have so much stuff on my computer I get tons of error messages and I worry I will lose it all. This would be a life saver. What an awesome product! Two thumbs up for the company. Genius!

My conputer is getting so slow that I am afraid that it is going to crash. My husband says that I have to give up my contests. I need a Clickfree External Hard Drive.
I have a lot of pics I need to back up :)
We are in a desperate need for an external hard drive. We have 4 school age kiddos with all kinds of projects and/or book reports that they do for homework. I would love to keep all of their work on something other than my laptop. I can place all of my photos and important documents on it as well. It is alway safe to have a backup just in case the laptop stop working. Thanks for the deal! I am feeling lucky!
I have an old pc, and by old I mean 3 years, and it is getting clogged up with tons of photos. It would be nice to be able to back them up and free up some space.
I have already lost important photos – need this for backup
This is so AWESOME! This is just what my husband needs. It would be really neat if I was able to win it for him. His laptop is so full of junk that its really slow and he just a real computer nerd so I know he would love this.
What a great prize!!!!!!!
My computer is on the verge of keeling over and it would be so relieving to have this device, to know some of my most treasured photo’s would be safe and sound!
