Please let me know your recommendations for a 1TB Portable HDD that is USB 3 and bus powered. I haven't kept up with machinations of whose drives are OK this year and who owns what. Thank'ee kindly
I've got a HGST branded 1TB external that gets absolutely thrashed on my Xbox. It's still going strong a year later, with zero signs of it breaking any time soon.
I have a 1TB WD My Passport Ultra that resides in the car as an encrypted off site backup of my important data.
Hi @Arboreal! Since you're looking for a portable external drive I can recommend WD Elements or WD My Passport Ultra which was already suggested by @David. They both are very good and reliable drives, and the only difference between them is that the second one is hardware encrypted and password protected while the first one is not. In terms of capacity, WD Elements comes with maximum available storage space of 2TB while WD My Passport is up to 4TB. Here are links if you want to take a look: WD Elements - http://products.wdc.com/support/kb.ashx?id=yDcBwS WD My Passport Ultra - http://products.wdc.com/support/kb.ashx?id=SqOM4S Hope this helps and feel free to ask any questions you may have.
Hi Mighty_M, thanks for your links. I was thinking (having done some research online) about getting the WD My Passport Ultra as the encryption could be handy for work data. Thanks B & D too - I think your choice is the winner D (artist formerly known as Spreadie)
