Hello!
I am in the market for a new portable hard drive in order back up my files on my Linux system (running Mageia 5.1). My requirements are:
- Reliable - Portable - Price Under $100 - at least 500 GB in size - USB-powered (I don't want to have to deal with plugging it in) - no additional software included (an empty file system without having to immediately reformat the drive if possible) - Fast file transfer and retrieval rates (SSD with USB 3.0?)
You have 2 options here: - buy preassembled external drive (I recommend this) - get drive and enclosure separately and assemble yourself.
