I know this is an ongoing topic but I am just starting out with my 3-2-1 back up strategy. I have low tech skills an am mostly concerned about not losing data especially since I may have to use some of it in a civil lawsuit. My current main hard drive is a WD Elements 5TB and I am running out of storage on it. I see two options that seem to fit me,
Amazon has the Seagate Expansion 20TB HD USB 3.0 for $279 and rated at 4.6 stars.
And Amazon has the WD Elements 20TB USB 3.0 for plug and play for $299 rated at 4.5 stars.
All my current hard external hard drives are WD Elements (2x5TB and 2x1TB).
The price is close enough so which one would be most easy to integrate into my current family of HDDs and more importantly have the least likelihood of failure? My back up strategy is still just getting started.....
