Review: Highest capacity bus powered external harddrive - I need high capacity external drives for a third backup of about 10Tb of data. I back up in real time with dedicated external drives that are permanently connected to my PC and NAS devices but I also wanted to have drives that are bus powered for easy removal, not permanently connected to guard against devious ransomware that might manage to get on my system despite the extensive security. This drive seemed like a good, reasonably priced high capacity drive that I could use with FreeFileSync open source backup and sync software and it has turned out to be perfect. I have divided my data into two divisions and I mirror sync one division to one drive and the other division to a second identical drive, both roughly weekly so the most I could lose if malware managed to get onto my PC, my permanenly connected external bakcup drives and my two Asustor NAS would be up to a week's work that had not yet been synced to one of the MyPassport drives which would be a bit inconvenient but not a disaster. The drives are compact, smaller than a Seagate 4Tb drive I was using before I bought the MyPassport, virtually silent with a very small pin prick blue light that illuminates when the drive is connected and flashes when the drive is being written or read. It gets warm when a lot of data is being transferred but not hot and the transfer speed is good, as you would expect from a USB 3.0 device. One thing that might be an issue with how often I attach and detach the drive from its cable is that the connector at the drive end is USB-B, the type with the flattened 8 shaped connector. I am concerned the connector inside the drive may become detached from the drive inside the case. A more firmly attached USB-C connector might have been a better choice. Also, with it being bus powered, the cable from a USB-A 3.0 socket on the PC to the drive can't be longer than 50cm or the drive periodically disconnects due to power fluctuations. I need a longer cable so I can leave it plugged into the tower of my PC under the desk and have some spare to leave on top of my desk so I can easily attach the drives when running the back up without have to grope around on the floor. The only way to do this is to have a powered USB 3.0 hub connected to one of the USB 3.0 sockets on the PC and then attach a longer cable from the hub to the drive. Doing it this way has enabled me to use a 2m cable from the hub to the drive without any disconnections. This would be necessay with any bus powered device - that's why the cable included in the box is so short and only usable to connect to a laptop with the drive right next to it. I will see how reliable the drives are and how durable the connector socket on the drive turns out to be after plugging in and unplugging twice a week but sofar, so good and I can recommend this drive.
