Are external hard drives a meme?

>failrate

no thanks

No they're not.

>he thinks Seagate is bad

ok kid

Always get the ones you can open up and fuck with, otherwise it's a huge pain to get them apart when the controller fails and you need to rescue your data.

> Are * a meme?
Fuck off

The cloud is free.

>oh no X is a meme now I can't use it!
Bhahahaha, fucking Sup Forums, I tell you, astonishing.

No. I have a 1tb seagate external that's like 8 years old, and I recently bought a 6tb.

They're not if you're constantly using the contents. They are if you're using them for long term storage. Get a HDD dock and some HDD cases. You're set for at least 8 years.

I plan to use them very constantly.

i have tons of files on my pc that i need on a drive like immediately, but i live in bumfuck nowhere so there's only a shitty store with externals and thats about it.
