just wondering which youd recommend
i expect any will do the job
but back when i used to post on here regularly there always seemed to be certain products that were universally loved
just wondering which HDD that applies to now

TIA
 
There's nothing wrong with any of the drives noted above - I have several of each!

What I would suggest is that you get some form of external caddy for the drive so that it's only powered on and active when you're actually backing up. The last thing you want if for a problem in the PC to affect both the live and backup copies of the data.
 
thx for replies

keep my backups in drawer in different house so nice and secure ;)

only plug drive in come backup time

which manufacturer is best to deal with for rmas and warranty should anything go wrong with it

may sway me for a couple of quid rather than just grabbing cheapest
