asked on

external drive recommendations for windows 7 pc

Can I get some recommendations (good ones to buy; bad ones to avoid).
I need less than 5 TB
I read a bunch of bad reviews about Seagate and am totally petrified of them.  Any other bad brands?

Dear all:
I'm backing up my laptop and desktop data only.  Documents, workbooks (XLSX), videos and MP3.  I have about 1 TB on the desktop, 1 TB on laptop.

You probably want to have a good backup application. I use Sync Back Pro to keep large volumes of files current. There are other applications. Incremental backup will be faster than wholesale copy of 1 TB frequently.
