keyboard Posted September 3, 2023 Report Share Posted September 3, 2023 Then how? Buy online? Not all places carry all brands - maybe perhaps sim lim? Usage matters on which is "best". Warranty period gives you an approximation how long it will last. Now also have SSD type of drives (without moving parts) but not long enough to know how long it can last under which circumstances but if data is important, opt for cloud storage or multiple copies.

Most likely try challenger store...second check online store. Now,is the price and brand to consider. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kidster Posted September 3, 2023 Report Share Posted September 3, 2023 (edited) seagate. plug n play for mac n wins. dont' need format, unlike WD remember to write "School Projects" on your hard disk.

keyboard Posted September 3, 2023 Report Share Posted September 3, 2023 Challenger online only carries 3 brands. There's not much of a price difference $20-40 if you're comparing the same specs - not those gaming ones. HDD is like a commodity, when it spoils, all data is lost no matter which brand. I'm more of a WD person. What are you using it for though, nowadays also got 5TB drives which cost per MB is higher than the mass market. Can't imagine people holding on to 1TB of data. Like a hoarder in digital life these days. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest hdd Posted September 12, 2023 Report Share Posted September 12, 2023 I only use the portable hdd to store and to upkeep data.....else on laptop, because frequently access them I hardly would need to use the hdd , unless one wish to live a live carrying so many portable stuff The trend now is all store it online or icloud/cloud or g drive, isn't it?

I am using WD, the most reliable brand up till now and the one I am holding on for the past few years (coming to a decade in time to come) , is less than 1TB Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thinking35 Posted September 15, 2023 Report Share Posted September 15, 2023 I got mine online, direct from the brand but via a platform. Much cheaper than retail with all vouchers/discounts applied. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
