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.JonVanSickle said:Having the same issue myself. Hard drive died so I am having to re-download everything :/
eyore said: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.
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.eyore said: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).
