Advice on Choosing Backup Harddrive
Posted: Wed Sep 19, 2018 6:47 pm
Hello all,
I want to backup a friend's music collection ao an external USB hard-drive. Am I better using an external 3.5" drive (with a USB connection AND a power connection) or an external 2.5" drive (that is powered via USB) or is there no difference? Any difference between brands?
My idea is to make a copy (or multiple copies) and then store it until needed so I want reliability above all. Read/write speed is not too important.
Thanks
James
