dlf Posted October 20, 2013 Share Posted October 20, 2013 I am seeking a replacement external hard drive that (according to CrystalDisk Info) has 4 bad sectors. At lest 1.5 TB (although 2 TB may be better) Should use: USB 2.0 (or 3.0) Or Firewire (incase all my other USB ports are taken) Or eSata (that should be the fastest, yes?) peas and tanks you (please and thank you) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mindovermaster Moderator Posted October 20, 2013 Moderator Share Posted October 20, 2013 Any reason you need external? About the fastest write speeds you get through straight SATA. But I'd recommend anything from WD. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bi4me Posted October 20, 2013 Share Posted October 20, 2013 WD and Seagate are a good choice. Of course SSDs are a better but expensive alternative. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mindovermaster Moderator Posted October 20, 2013 Moderator Share Posted October 20, 2013 For OS use, yes. Only for storage, no. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dlf Posted October 20, 2013 Author Share Posted October 20, 2013 I have a SSD, although having a larger and faster one for the OS could probably be useful I need storage because one of my drives has bad sectors, what was on the drive is now on the 2 TB mechanical drive in this along with the other externals. I'm thinking one these in a 2 or 3 TB variety. If one of my other externals goes I need some place to keep the data that's on that, don't I? http://www.newegg.co...N82E16822136749 http://www.newegg.co...N82E16822178110 http://www.newegg.co...N82E16822178117 http://www.newegg.co...N82E16822236138 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mindovermaster Moderator Posted October 20, 2013 Moderator Share Posted October 20, 2013 All of those are fine. Just look at write/read speeds, and what other people are saying about it. Look at professional reviews, not just newegg. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
