The Seagate model below is a good option as is the WD My Book Thunderbolt Duo w/TB Cable 8TB Hard Drive. this provides another feature than what you can find in our Seagate Wireless Plus 1TB mobile storage drive review. Halley’s Comet may return before I do another all-too-crucial system back up. Sadly this tenacious care-giving rarely translates to our digital space.
Yet we all endeavor to maintain and preserve the longevity of said items and/or their ability to function. Laundry, car washes and general tidying are all thankless and never-ending tasks. I personally purchased three to make redundant backups when traveling.How often do you do laundry? Me? I’m slinging dirty britches on the daily! The wife and our wannabe superstar model offspring, host a lot of mock beauty pageants. Once full, the reading speed are acceptable and future file transfer won’t be negatively impacted. On the other hand, writing speed is not a critical factor when it comes to cold storage and backup. Nowadays, active editing files should be located on a SATA or NVMe SSD. With the advent of affordable SSD, old fashion spinning disks like this one have only one purpose: storing a large amount of data for little money. Of course the SMR technology tends to limit the writing speeds as the drive fills up but this product shouldn’t be used as a primary editing drive anyway. Not much has changed since 2016 and this new edition of the Seagate Backup Plus Portable drive is a good product. Writing speed drops significantly as the hard drive becomes full, especially on long sequential writesĬonclusion: A Great Value for Cold Storage and Backup Application.Good build quality with aluminum casing.Decent reading speed performance (130 MB/s maximum).Excellent value: $100 for a 5TB portable hard drive.When the hard drive is not full, the reading and writing operations can reach up to 130 MB/s.
Past 70% or 80%, the writing speed can decrease below 30 MB/s. But this technology comes with a catch: while the reading speed is not impacted (up to 130 MB/s), the writing speed tends to slow down significantly as the disk becomes full. This overlapping-lane architecture permit to cram more data per platter. Without being too technical, the SMR technology consist of writing on three tracks in parallel. The Shingled Magnetic Recording (SMR) is a recording technology designed to increase the storage density. The hard drive is nicely designed and comes in several colors.
