Long story short, after a year or two one of my external HDDs (4TB) decided to stop working. It plugs in, it lights up, but windows doesn't see it anymore, nor do any recovery programs I try. This drive was probably only 2 years old and wasn't undergoing heavy usage by any means. It was by far my newest external as well. I have a 1TB and 2 TB external as well, and they're 4 and 6 years old respectively but are still purring like kittens. All three are Seagate.
Anywho, I had a lot of valuable data on the one that broke and I don't want a repeat of this incident anytime soon so I was hoping to ask the experts here what in their opinions is the most reliable high-capacity HDD I can get? (preferably 8 TB, but 4 TB is okay)
Looking to fully backup my other externals and take properly backing up to more than one location a lot more seriously from this point forward. Thanks for your time everyone. (Internal suggestions are also fine)
