Get an external hard drive.

I'm only backing up 60GB. Also, I'd rather buy an Internal HDD.

Well that costs more and is way more bulky. It has more space, but not everybody needs that much.

Wtf who cares about bulkiness for back ups?

You can make multiple back ups from different dates

People who want to actually take it somewhere. A flash drive is for casually taking somewhere, and you may not want to constantly be carrying a giant hard drive.

Wouldn't an external drive be less reliable, because of moving parts?

For a portable hard drive that is too big. The largest portable HDD I would use is a WD passport
