You might want this 1 TB USB 3.0 drive to backup your replacement hard drive.  *All* hard drives will fail eventually so the $70 is worth saving yourself some aggravation IMHO.

Sadly it was my backup that died. a 1.5 tb completely full. Data recovery would be nice but it seems way too pricey atm

Oh :(.  If it was your only copy, then it was really offline storage and not a backup.

I use this 2 TB drive and I like it.  It's bigger and heavier than that other drive I linked to so I assume there's a 3.5" drive inside instead of a 2.5".

TRUTH: I Have no Backup drive, unless I copy my contents as a backup to my HFS Drive.

I use the Seagate 2Tb as a backup drive although I found the software caused severe audio latency when I had it set to continual backup (possibly because it's designed for a USB3 and I only have USB2). I use the Easus free backup now. I prefer this as you can access the actual files via explorer.  My first Seagate backup drive died after two weeks (nasty clicking sound) but this one appears healthy enough. I also have most of my important files copied to other external HDDs too (plus copies of copies so if one goes, everything should be on the other).Just buy a HDD bigger that the one in the PC and copy everything over.

I don't always backup my content. But when I do, I use western digital hard drives.

My general rule is to never use whatever bundled software is on a device *unless* I've heard good reviews about that exact same version.  I figure if it was any good, then why did the vendor feel the need to bundle it?  Good apps sell well on their own. ;)

Up to now, I've not needed to use the backup part of it (kiss of death) but I can extract stuff from it to play/view which is really what I wanted anyway (something that would backup files on a daily basis without me having to remember which ones I had downloaded since the last save). Far more worried about actual files than software (well we lose all the software when changing PCs anyway). Today I actually took my very first PC to the tip (after removing the drives which I may be able to use another day somewhere). Sad to see it go though just lying in a skip :( I do still have my next three though  ;D

I use a 2 TB Western and it's been great. However, my ultimate backup is still the trusty old CD. I've been able to quickly restore my collection when the mighty crashes happen.

I use DVDs now as the number of CDs was getting silly  ::) I've also found flash drives or SD cards quite handy and reasonably priced for the storage of audio. That has the bonus of being able to play directly from them on various audio devices plus my car stereo. Flash drives and SD cards also take up very little room now, 64Gb cards in some cases (my new FiiO player). 8Gb and 16Gb SD cards are very cheap now and don't get scratched. Hopefully they will last as long and it's just as easy to copy the files! I notice my latest SD card is also classed as waterproof for many hours submersion in fresh or salt water.

Oh, the tracker still appears to be down :)
