External hard drive advice please
Wolf K wrote:
I'm looking for another external drive or two. My usual source has both Seagate/Lacie and Western Digital. It looks like 1 or 2TB are the smallest ones these days. Price range is around $50 to $100 per terabyte. Lacie prices are double Seagate models of same capacity - is Lacie the better quality version of Seagate? Western Digital models are generally in same price range as Seagate. Or should I look at other brands? I'm willing to spend up to about $100/terabyte for greater reliability. All advice and recommendations gratefully received and carefully considered. Thank you, I've had WD and Seagate drives for decades. Not a single one ever died though I guess if I include the Connor drive in my original HP Win95 computer that had a Track 0 on/off problem that would count as 1 Seagate hardware failure. I prefer the WD Passport 2 TB as externals(drives in their own casing) and the WD or Seagates or Crucial SSD's for use in this device Sabrent USB 3.0 to SATA Dual Bay External Hard Drive Docking Station for 2.5 or 3.5in HDD, SSD, Support up to 10TB. - ~$30US on Amazon. -- ....w¡ñ§±¤ñ msft mvp 2007-2016, insider mvp 2016-2018 |
