    I could be wrong but this seems more expensive than the last few portable hard drive sales?

        Not that I'd be able to put any noticeable dent in their profits, but I personally try to avoid them these days due to unethical business practices.

        Merchants Say Amazon Is Copying Their Products
        http://fortune.com/2016/04/20/amazon-copies-merchants/

        "An exclusive Sunday Mirror investigation into the shocking conditions for staff at Amazon has generate a massive response online.

        It discovered workers fall asleep on their feet during relentless 10hr shifts - under constant pressure to deal with a package every 30 seconds.

        Below our reporter, Alan Selby, explains how he found 'staff are just cattle - there to serve robots'"

    It seems rarely a day goes by that there isn't a sale for a portable hard drive.

    Quick question: For desktop users, do most people keep theirs permanently connected (perhaps via a USB at the rear of the box)? Or is that not advisable?

    • prankster on 31/03/2018 - 14:16

      I personally wouldn’t do that, I only just have it connected when I need to access or transfer files (movies or what so) into the portable HDD

      • scuderiarmani on 31/03/2018 - 15:51

        Unplugging them reguarly isn't ideal either. Though I'd do the same personally.

      Drive will go to sleep after a period of inactivity.

      I have several USB hard drives connected to my server PC (some desktop, some slim and bus powered like this one), and they’re only running when I’m accessing something from them.

    Manufacturer warranty 2 years. Does this mean their possibility of failure would be higher than those with 3 or 5 years warranty? How do we back this possibility with some facts/statistics?

    • petry on 31/03/2018 - 21:21

      very difficult question. broadly wd better than Seagate but elements at weaker end of wd lineup.

      2 years confirms that. Some people avoid elements - useage depends on value of data etc. If invaluable use something else.

      One downside of WD is they use proprietary connectors inside their drives. So if a drive goes bad, you can’t even take it apart and hook it up to a SATA interface and try to recover anything.
