[ligonsker]

I wanted to buy a backup hard drive and saw that this 4TB gaming drive is sold for 90$:

Are there any advantages of using a specifically designated backup drives such as the WD My Passport or Seagate Backup Plus over "gaming" external hard drives?

The term "gaming drive" is simply marketing fluff. Means nothing.

$90 for a 4TB portable thing is not bad.
Yes, it will work for "backups"

The only "advantage" the WD My Passport or Seagate Backup Plus might have it its included software. Which I wouldn't use anyway, so no advantage for me.
