If you actually want any sort of a portability definitely get USB.

Not only do you need to plug an external in everytime it will actually degrade and eventually kill the power supply.

If you're never going to move it, or turn it off, yeah go for it.

>>57499961
what?

you have to plug in a USB flash drive everytime as well, dunno how it will kill the power supply or degrade?

>>57499961
Running an external hard drive will not harm your power supply in any way.

Do you mean "externally powered hard drive or usb powered"? Or are you one of those people who call flash drives simply "usb"?

>>57500123
usb powered

What the fuck kinda shit are you sniffing?

but how come those usb drives disconnects themselves at some point during the day? i use them for music and every day at some point the music will get cut because the drive disconnects itself for 1 sec

thought it was my old drive but bough a new one, usb/external power, and this one does it less, but still does it 1-2 times during the day

The power goes in at a median voltage and is cut or amplified through the use of an amp. Just like any other appliance.

Might be some USB power saving feature. Make sure you disable it for every use device.

Want external storage for daily backups and keeping media library.
Do I keep these on seperate drives or two partitions on one big drive?

For the autistics a clarification
>>57499840 is talking about getting either a USB flash drive "zip disquette" or an external hard disk drive with usb connector like the on on his picture.

This >>57499961 autist thought that OP meant getting either a sata hard disk drive or a usb hard disk drive as external storage.

>>57499840
Neither
Download some RAM and partition it over the cloud for remote deployment use

>>57500609
Get a USB powered one, unless you're planning on using it on an underpowered device such a Raspberry Pi

Why would you buy physical storage in 2016?
Just buy a 1TB cloud, it's better and cheaper.

What are /g/'s thoughts on cloud-based storage, for both backup and recreation purposes?
