Need recommendations for 500GB external USB drive
My external drive just crashed and I use it solely for backup of my
systems. Since I haven't had much luck with the reliability of external drives, I welcome suggestions for a drive that holds approximately 500GB. The one I have now is 466GB capacity. Thank you...... |
