The speed of most external hard drives will not benefit one jot from USB 3.0 supportDon't see the point in buying anything that isn't USB3.
Get two 2tb drives and make sure they are synched regularly. Any drive that isn't backed up is a disaster waiting to happen!Guys, wouldnt the problem be, getting a 1 or 2tb drive like putting all your eggs in one basket? Wouldnt it be better to get a few 500gig drives?

At least it shows that for some potential buyers, marketing and advertising campaigns are more effective at selling goods than the actual factual truthful specifications.
As everyone says multiple external drives with EVERYTHING on rotated to an offsite location (office draw in my case) the only other option I would consider is a cloud backup solution but my broadband connection is slow and I'm happy with what I have at the minute.I'm looking for a new one. I've had a seagate one for a few years. Rock solid stable, then last week, I moved all my photos and files to it while I cleared out my storage drive and the damn thing died, wiping out everything.

I've got no luck with this sort of thing! I'm wondering whether I should just get a load of large internal drives now.

I use robocopy and a couple of batch files. Very quick, reliable and configurable, just need to spend the time learning how to use is.What is a good free program to sync the files?
