Or wait and buy an external HDD when you need it

Why not wait until the failure, drive to your local retailer, purchase an external HDD, and then restore?

I'm not saying this is a better solution, just an alternative for those of us that live within 30 minutes of a Target or other similar store. This solution also scales better (as you increase the number of macs) since you get to fully utilize all of the space on your backup drive and you only spend extra when you need to.

At that point, I'll simply be buying a new internal HDD. The above solution is simply a way to stay up and running (at no extra cost) until you can get your machine sorted.
