Tina and Steve,

Thanks for the feedback. My current external drive is a 750GB Western Digital, and it has been very reliable. But, with larger digital photo files, it fills up quickly.

I will take another look at what WD is currently selling.

I currently have 21 4 TB drives hooked up.  Most of them are Western
Digital.  I have had several Seagates fail.  No WD that I have had has
failed.  (I'm knocking on wood now!)
Lacie is the worst I've ever used, but I don't think they are in business
anymore.

Paul,
My local external SATA drive is filling up.  I note that you are using a
3TB drive for this purpose.  The reviews are confusing. What drive do you
recommend?

Well, I have the main library on a RAID on my desk.  I have a 3TB single
drive that serves as redundant local backup, plus I use Backblaze as my
main Cloud backup.  I'm just looking at Amazon as secondary cloud backup.

am definitely NOT one of those "Just run everything from the cloud!!!"
   people. If the internet connection goes down, you're SOL.

And that's how I feel about Amazon Cloud, Google, Yahoo....

I do have a friend who runs an enterprise website hosted on Amazon and he
has been know to not have a website on occasion due to a burp in the
cloud....

Don't put all your eggs in one cloud!

If it's just storage you want with easy access then I can recommend the
little WD Cloud drive which isn't really "cloud" rather a NAS box. My

wire

is way too funky to consider cloud anything.
