Hello
I want to buy an external HDD for storing movies etc. to watch when I am travelling for long periods.
Although I would prefer a lighter HDD, but more important is the reliability for me.then the weight.
Should I go for the Portable type or should I go for the Desktop version drives which require external power source ?
I was leaning towards the 1 TB WD my passport ultra or 2 TB external Seagate GoFlex Hard disk
or SEAGATE STBV2000300 3.5 inch 2TB USB 3.0 Expansion Desk
Please recommend the more reliable models.from your experience not necessarily from the above 2
One more query..
My USB 3.0 ports are only at the back of the computer.
So it is difficult for me to reach there.
Can I use a USB extender cable to help me to attach the external HDD to the computer without losing the transfer speed and data integrity?
Thanks for advising
