Currently, I am relying on an online backup service, and while they are good – it is a monthly expense that I wish I didn’t have to do. If I was to have a backup drive, I will be able to plug the drive into my computer, and turn on Time Machine. This will therefore allow me to not have to worry so much of the files. It will also meet the minimum suggested 4 times the drive being backed up.
With that in mind, I will want the LaCie d2 8TB External Hard Drive. This drive will plug into my PC via the USB port. This is fine as I have a spare USB-C port. The drive can be acquired from Amazon for $255. I would prefer the higher capacity, but this will be the lowest I can accept.
