Have you fallen for the portable hard drive jew yet? >buy

Sounds like you bought a shit drive

I only use them for shuttling large amounts of data, not carrying around with me during random travels.

As is usually asked about expandable storage on phones, I wonder why people need to bring so much storage with them. I can't imagine even filling a single 64GB microSD with trip movies.

The only good portable HDD is a new laptop pulled 2.5" in a cheap enclosure that you can easily remove it from.

nah fuck that, i'll be buying a bunch of 64gb flash drives, mechanical and portable is bound to fuck up

You should just stay away from anything with moving parts from now on. Do you use your DVD-RW as a glowstick while it's burning a disc?

>>59776479
Put an old SSD in a USB 3.0 enclosure. It's genius I tells ya.

>>59776479
this
also build a nas and use flashdrives for anything else

>have had 3 1TB+ portable HDDs for years
>they all still work fine

>>59776479
At least get SDs (and a USB adapter if needed). You don't need blazing speed to archive movies at night, and you're trading the transfer speed for a smaller and more versatile medium. Just swap card after card into your camera as each fills and then consolidate when you're home.

mSATA SSD in one of these is even better

I like being able to listen to music without spending all of my data in an hour.

>>59776526
That's a helluva bottleneck.

>slight tap
More like OP is a retard that dropped it

>>59776544
That hour of music is also, what, under 100MB of storage? There's a line between liking the ability to listen to music and liking the ability to carry one's entire music library everywhere. I wonder what sort of anxieties are involved with the latter side of that line.

How?

You can easily fix clicking hard drives through bashing one corner of it against a table. I did it all the time back then when I had a mp3 player with 2,5" HDD.

I can't possibly imagine what caused this drive to fail.

>>59776544
So just get another sd card for your movie needs? Or even better, just put the shit on a laptop. Watching movies on phones is sad.

Maybe dial back the oafish fat hand syndrome next time you fucking cluts

Actually, it took a drop a few months back which must have misaligned the heads.
Still works fine assuming I tune ZFS to copies=2 to keep all primary data redundant.

I own four WD Passports and they're (knock on wood) still working perfectly. Oldest one is a 1TB which is four (maybe five) years old this upcoming Christmas, a 2TB which is a three years old, a second 2TB which is two years old, and a third 2TB which I bought back in early December. I love those little fuckers.

>>59776374
Why not just buy a hard drive and plug it in one of those adapters
