    Advice on External SSD storage please

    Any reputable online shop to by external USB hard drive?

    I see chinky knock offs offering 2TB for $10 on Lazada /Shopee/Ali they must be fake?

    I have used invade IT in the past always satisfied

    Purpose is a back up for 500GB laptops and maybe movies

    I think iTB be enough but I notice many movies that used to be 700-999m now five times larger as in HD etc

    I see many 2TB external drives here from 2999 up , what do I get for 7k I don't for 3 is it quality ?

    External Hard Drive, USB Hard Drives, Portable Hard Drive, WD External Hard Drives, Seagate External Hard Drives, 2TB Thailand - invadeIT

    I use the Samsung T9 SSDs as back up. I like them because of their size and the fact they are fast and reliable. They also have password protection (if you want it) out of the box.

    Samsung and Western Digital are two strong brands.

    Yep, WD are good as well. I also have a WD elements 1TB SDD that has been reliable. I prefer the T7 due to its smaller size as it fits easily in my camera case.

    I bought 4 x 12TB Western Digital NAS drives a couple of weeks ago from Amazon.
    Order was placed on September 2, 2024
    Drives were delivered to Puerto Galera on September 14
