A couple months ago I got a 2 T external hard drive for under $90. It is
a breeze to use.

I had bought a new computer and was planning on setting up the second
one and then shuffling back and forth with USB sticks to copy al the
data files on the old and uploading it to the new one. My son suggested
the external drive. I plugged it into the old one and it automatically
copied everything. I then plugged it into the new one and it
automatically uploaded everything.
