Seagate Backup Plus 2TB 2.5in Portable Drive USB 3.0 Black
Cons:-Short USB 3.0 cable
Pros:-Easy to set up-Simple but flexible backup software-Unobtrusive backup software-Very fast over USB 3.0 |
This is my first backup drive after I figured that I was probably tempting fate after not backing up anything at all. I have had one drive fail in the past 15 years and another one lose a number of sectors and non-critical data about 4 years ago. Seeing as how I am probably past due for a catastrophic failure sometime in the next 2 or 3 years, it was time for a backup drive. This one fit the bill perfectly in that it is very fast, includes simple and lightweight backup software, is relatively attractive, and has the capacity to allow me to backup anything that I want. I have only chosen to back up personal files (including some held on DropBox), so there is plenty of space leftover if I want to use the rest of the space for storage or moving files around physically. I upgraded my ancient system with a USB 3.0 PCI-E card to enable the super fast transfer speeds.
