Hello,
I am looking for a second hard drive for backup. External, not imbedded to a PC or a laptop.
I have read that Seagates tend to fail more frequent than other drives, so I have decided to look at WD drives only. I am looking at getting 1 or 2 TB drive.
My issue is that I don't know what to get in terms of type, size and configuration. What is best? So many options, it's confusing.
Do I get WD passport or 2.5" internal HDD and just use an enclosure for it (which I have). Or do I get a 3.5" internal and use an enclosure (I'll have to buy an enclosure). Do I get 5400 rpm or 7200 rpm?
I am less worried about the rpm, but I am just confused which configuration is best as I can't decide!
Price wise everything tends to be similiar. I think the 3.5" internal + enclosure, ends up being the most expensive by a little bit, but that doesn't matter much to me.
I will await for your recommendations! Thanks
