I am considering getting an external hard drive for added back up storage.
However, the limited warranties (at best, 3 years with most at 1 year) and reviews on some external hard drives (such as WD's My Book 8 TB) has me wondering if perhaps it would be better to go with two long-warranty HD's in a dual docking station?
I understand that with a docking station, you'd not have the software to automatically back up files straight "out of the box," but it seems you'd have a better guarantee and HDs that seem to be more efficient than those used in external HDs nowadays.
Any recommendations?
Thank you.
