Do you own an external hard drive?

[MickeyD]

I have a good few 3.5s from the pre-fibre days and now a few 2.5s for backups and saving a few selected videos.

Very relevant question on an IT forum in 2018

Good luck finding that one perfect porno from years ago again on the internet.

Ain't that the truth, there are 2 videos I'd love to find again.

4tb 2.5" for pretty much whatever I need to.

 

[Lord Flacko]

Yeah.

Both Western Digital Portable 2.5” drives

 

[Badprop_za]

2 x 1Tb drives.
Mostly pictures and videos taken.

 

[Beyond.Celsus]

Had one.... till the connectors between the case and the HDD got faulty.
Now using it as a normal internal HDD


Not sure how to answer the poll now

Dozens

 

[SykomantiS]

Yes, like four, though one threw its MFT out the window and I've yet to recover the data (which is presumably still there).

One too many. No porn.

Who downloads porn? DSTV subscribers?

 

[xrapidx]

Somewhere - don't use it.

Have a couple of 128Gb flash drives...

I've had a few guys give me external drives to copy stuff for them - amazing what personal stuff people forget they have on these drives.

I am always surprised at the amount of porn some people hoards.

1TB Transcend rugged USB 3 2.5". I bought it to utalize for storage as the macbook was a 256GB one. I just watch anime on it since it's full with them and does nothing else basically

40GB ex PS3 drive in an enclosure for snappy driver installer and random IT programs.

Works like a boss.


Pity 500GB is the minimum size for a HDD these days, I would like to buy new 250/320GB drives again.
