These slower drives are cheaper, and since the backup software runs in the background, you probably won’t notice the slower speed. ![]() One nice thing about buying a drive for backing up your data is that you don’t need to worry about drive speed. If you don’t mind a larger form factor, there’s a Western Digital 6-terabyte “desktop” version that’s not much more ( $140 at Amazon). I like this 5-terabyte model ( $108 at Amazon, $108 at Best Buy), which will back up this very article later tonight (it’s backed up to the cloud as I type, more on that in a minute). Several of us here on the Gear team have had good luck with Western Digital hard drives. ![]() ![]() Even within brand names, though, some drives are better than others.
