Benjamin King2 said:I’d go with the DashDrive. It’s built tougher and handles drops or bumps much better. Honestly, you shouldn't expect 100% reliability from any hard drive; there's always a chance something goes wrong eventually. No one can guarantee a drive will run flawlessly for 3, 5, or 10 years, so always have a backup plan ready. Keep your critical data in at least two different places. 🙂
Look, I get that nothing is foolproof, but I just want something well-made so I have a little peace of mind.
I'm on the hunt for a new external hard drive since my old one just died on me. Reliability and build quality are my top priorities here because I'll be storing critical data on it. Does anyone have a solid "best buy" recommendation under $217? I was browsing the previous threads and noticed two options mentioned by dustyfox60: and According to some online reviews, both feature rugged builds that meet certain military standards. Which of these two is actually the better, more durable choice? If there are even better alternatives out there that will last me a long time, please let me know. Thanks in advance.

Since there aren't any monthly maintenance fees, and if the account is actually in someone else's name and you're just transferring money to yourself to spend, you probably won't have to worry about filing any extra tax returns every year, unless we're talking about some seriously massive amounts of cash.
When you go to open the account, you might want to just mention that you'd prefer an Intel card instead of a physical plastic one.
I read online that people with old JPMorgan Chase accounts used to run into issues with PayPal. Has that been resolved, or is it still a problem?
Which bank offers the best account for online shopping and using PayPal with a Visa debit card, and what kind of fees am I looking at?
