Which External HD ? & On Cloud Storage (right word for ?)
Hi folks,
Want to buy an external 1 TB HD, and of course looked thru Amazon.
Quite disturbing reading all the reviews, as neither Seagate or Western Digital shine.
Most of the reviews talk about their conking out in a few months, flimsy construction, no customer service, etc.
Seagate "used" to be so good; wonder what happened.
Anyway, I have to buy something.
Is their any kind of concensous among you experts which brand (and model) might
prove to be be the best bet ? Who still has the best reputation ?
And, at my age it is getting to be hard to keep up with all of this.
Heard about cloud-storage where you wouldn't back up to your own HD, but send all the files to some other place via the web.
Seems like it would be awfully slow to transfer, particularly videos (of Grandkid of course)
Might someone give me a few words on this possibility, please.
Thanks for opinions,
Bob
