asked on

Are these External USB Portable Drives reliable?

The user is a photographer who will be taking thousands of photos on a trip, downloading them onto a Lightroom Catalog  that will be on an external USB Drive, then working with this Lightroom Catalog on a MacBook Air.  After a few weeks they will be be returning and will import the Lightroom catalog into their mail catalog.

They want a light-weight drive with some reliability.

On Amazon they saw two drives.  Are these two 4TB drives reliable?  Are there better that I should know about.
Thanks.
