This is one of the reasons why I prefer having a few smaller drives than one big one. Having a zillion terabytes of storage one one drive is great and all, but that's a lot of stuff to potentially lose when something craps out. I'd sooner have a couple smaller ones so that if one hdd does shit the bed..err case? at least not everything's gone.

That's good to know. I almost thought of buying a couple (I always back up with pairs) to replace a couple of aging spinning disk portables.

Guess I will wait.

Data being lost on a drive isn't a reason not to purchase. If it were then we would never buy any drives.

What is a good portable HDD to get these days?

Or should I just get one of those little usb m2 cases.

It was too eXtreme!!!

And the truism holds. If you only have one backup. you don't have backups.

I don't remember any more.

Was this the one? I think this was the one.
The one that fucking failed.

...fuck. I had more money than sense a few years ago.
