Best external hard drives to buy right now?
in Computer Peripherals ·
Looking for some advice. I'm in the market for a 500 GB external hard drive for work—mostly just daily data backups and stuff like that. I'm currently torn between these options:
- Western Digital Elements Portable WDBUZG5000ABK
- Toshiba Stor.E Plus
- PQI H552V
They're all 2.5'' drives with USB 3.0.
The only difference is that the PQI comes with a 36-month warranty, while the other two only offer 24 months. My main priorities are low noise levels and overall reliability.
