Internal or external hard drive?
I wanted to order my new hard drive this week. This means I'm getting rid of two defective ones. What would you go for? Internal or external? It's basically just meant to serve as a backup and data storage device. I'm currently deciding between a WD MyBook external, a WD internal, or a Toshiba internal, all 6TB.
Backup is always external! And connected only if necessary. What makes a backup internal when it can be attacked by a Trojan, virus at any time!?
Backups always on an external one. After Toshiba was also sold, I would rather choose Western Digital. If anything. In hard drives it probably makes sense to look at Seagte. They also have HDD specially for backup
If you only need it as a backup hard drive, it is better suited externally because you do not need to have it constantly in operation, which extends the service life and because it can be connected anywhere via USB.
Also have an external backup hard drive.
Backup does not belong to internal drives.
On the other hand, as a data grave, externally is ambiguous.
You should NOT want to do these two tasks on the same drive.
Data exchange is better with an external hard drive.
