I recently cancelled my Dropbox subscription, and will now be running local backups instead. For that purpose I need an external hard drive.
It seems most companies (Western Digital, Kingston, Seagate) are American, with Japanese Toshiba occasionally showing up in my search results.
Does anyone know of/have any experience with European storage manufacturers? If not I guess Toshiba will have to do. :)
Remember, a local backup isn’t a real backup. I have setup a storage system with my brother. He stores his stuff on my server and I store my stuff on his. All encrypted and synced daily, plus we do periodic verify to prevent bit rot. When we need expansion we pool our money and both expand our servers the same amount.
Not everyone has a backup brother.
Sadge :(
