External Hard Drive For Computer Backup

I bought this hard drive to use with Time Machine on my Mac. I literally just plugged it in, then the computer asked me if I wanted to use it as my Time Machine backup and I clicked yes. Presto. Done. Didn't install any software, it's just plug and play. (I had to buy a new external drive because I got a new computer and the old backup drive would be completely overwritten if I used it for Time Machine. This one is about 1/20 the size of the old. Since I work upstairs in my bedroom at night sometimes, it's nice to have an external drive that is completely portable. This way I tend to plug it in for a backup more often instead of waiting until I am downstairs again.) I actually bought an extra one for a different computer.

I need CD blanks to first backup my computer, in case of external/internal hard drive failure. And to copy/burn and to store relevant data. So I choose Verbatim because they are highly reliable and I have had success with them before.

This is my 3rd redundant WD external hard drive (all at once), to ensure backup of my data. I recently suffered a total hard drive failure of my computer. Bought new computer, ran everything including my back up email over to new computer, and I'm fine with no lost data. You cannot afford to not buy one of these if you have a computer!

This is a great hard drive for automatic backup of my computer files.

No issues. I use it to connect an external backup hard drive to my netbook.

I have several WD Elements Desktop External Hard Drive and all have served us well for backup.

I have used a LaCie Rugged USB External Hard Drive as a backup device for over 10 years. This is a very reliable product. When I purchased a new computer with a Type C drive I did not hesitate to upgrade to a LaCie Type C drive knowing it would be just as reliable.

I use this to keep my external hard drive connected to my laptop. I used to just let it hangout next to my computer. This is sooooo much better.

Purchased this to transfer photos from another WD 4TB external hard drive as a backup.

I use the drive for video production and another one for backup on my mac pro. I edit on the one that is in one of the bays inside the computer. I back up to the one on my external esata drive. I haven't encountered any problems with them yet. They're fast enough for music and video production ( 7200 rpm) and have enough space do substantial work.
