What does the burst transfer mean on a hard drive?
A hard drive that is Ultra ATA 100 has a burst transfer rate of 100MB per second, in one burst, not all the time. Therefore a burst rate is a one time transfer rate of speed or one session, which is similar to a cable provider claiming 20 megabytes per second, download speeds, when the actual sustainaible rate, is far less.
Choosing the Right Hard Drive?
When you are looking at hard drives, remember the two different types: internal and external hard drives. Internal need to be installed and are generally a little bit cheaper, at least if you do the installation. They also generally have a higher rate of data transfer. External are usually connected to your computer with a USB cord, which means they have a slightly slower transfer rate and will use up a USB port whenever you are using it. However, they are portable, so you can bring files to your friends homes, to another computer, or into the office.

What types of media are usually used for data backup?
There are four primary types of media used for data backup. 1) DVDs - I find these tedious and space consuming but cheap and they'll do the trick. They do have the slowest data transfer rate of the possible media used for data transfer. 2) Hard Drive - Whether an external drive or an internal one docked in a "toaster" (A sata 3 docking station which allows the user to connect an internal hard drive to a different computer VIA USB so one doesn't have to physically hook it up to the motherboard) 3) Cloud Storage- Free services like skydrive or Dropbox (or icloud if you're a Mac user) are great for transferring documents between devices or to a new computer! 4) Flash media - Flash Drives and SSD Hard Drives are among the fastest ways to move data around!
