I am needing to back up a lot of image files and am considering a portable hard drive that would be convenient to use with my laptop in the field, as well as with my desktop computer when I am home. Lately I am making more time for photography and am thinking that 500 GB would be the smallest hard drive to consider, based on the number and size of files I already need to backup, plus have room for photos for at least the near future. Whichever product I buy, I will ultimately purchase two of them so I have second backup in case one unit fails. I'd like to know if any particular brand/model is working well for folks, and at the same time want to steer clear of problematic devices, so I am very interested in your experiences and recommendations.
Thanks for your help.
Regards,
Ken
