1 TB Seagate.... I trust Seagate a lot.

[bulbo!]

1 tb seagate for me. The durability and the warranty of seagate is top notch.

1 TB WD pero puno na need to buy again siguro 2TB na

[shiba]

1 TB Seagate will be enough since you just use it as a portable HD.

Been a long time since I bought an external hard drive. 2 320gb western digital hard drives since 2012 and both haven't failed yet.

WD MyBook 3TB USB 3.0

WD 2TB for me. I'm actually planning to set up a NAS soon. A 2 drive bay from Synology seems to be my best bet.

 

 

Good Choice Bro.. That's actually what Im going to do as well for my little set up.

Crozier voyager air. 1gb. Wireless sia pero i think mas okay NAS. Badtrip lang mabagal ang net.

I really recommend WD Elements. Whether you get the USB2.0 or the USB3.0, it's nice off the shelf since it comes without any bloatware - parang large USB lang siya.

Durability depends on many factors like how often you use it. The more you use it, the less durable it becomes. Then there's also physical damage to the drive - if the drive is dropped or fried due to electrical surge or improper handling of the drive (frying your drive with your own static electricity).

 

Look at it this way. If you use an internal drive for your backup, then it will stay within the computer (desktop or laptop).

An external drive is portable but with portability, you run the risk of dropping the drive or having something spilled on it, etc.

An internal drive is not portable (unless you bring your desktop/laptop with you).

 

If you have a desktop, then buy an internal drive to backup your files.

If you have a laptop, then buy an external drive.

If your backup files include media files that you'd like to play in a media player, then buy an external drive.

 

Decide by asking yourself these questions.

1.) What files are you backing up? How often do you need to backup? And what uses are those files?

2.) What is your budget?

 

I hope that helps somehow.

 

Thank you so much for your response. It does help and really appreciated

 

I'm planning to buy both instead for backing up photos and videos. During my backread, I got an idea on how to use back-up drives by transferring same types of files in one drive.

 

WD may be my internal while seagate for my external. 1tb each.
