sleep on it, go to work, come home, voilà.

...you aren't some kind of filthy neet are you anon?

USB3 is embarrassingly slow and unstable as well. I can't believe what a poor standard it is. I used to run an external as my main drive ... must've lost a lot of hair off my head doing that.

The external Jew has you in its grips and you're returning to it tho lol

1) Open 2TB USB enclosure.
2) Remove HDD
3) Install HDD in desktop computer.
3) Copy contents of HDD to USB 3.0 drive enclosure.

I hope to god people don't torrent from these things.

Vast majority of WD drives that isn't true. Have to be careful.

I do this now for my home server's root which is on a SSD, easier to back it up when you can just unplug it and image it from another machine.

Granted my install went to shit a few days ago in an unrelated event and I'm currently rebuilding it, plus all my meaningful data is on internal HDDs.

Why is backing up still so fucking cumbersome in 2017? There's literally no end all be all software that works cross platform.

In the end I just shadow copied my shit on Windows.
