Seagate Backup Plus for Mac 8TB

Seagate Backup Plus for Mac 8TB on Amazon 

I have been trying to live and die by the idea that data does not exist unless it is in three places.

Currently, I have it in two.  Looking for solutions for an online third source, but haven’t found anything yet.  I bought this backup drive on Amazon Prime Day and am just getting around to really using it for my second copy of everything.  So far, so good.  I love that it has two USB ports on the front, so I can use it for charging devices because power outlets are limited in this old house.  I also love that it is powered, so I do have to plug it into the wall–but this means those USBs will work even when I don’t have the hard drive plugged into my computer.

Eventually, I think this will be the drive I use to store all my media and have it hooked to an Airport Extreme or something, so I can watch movies on an Apple TV in my living room.  This plan requires a new house and what not, but eh… it will come one day.

If you’re looking for a HUGE drive, this is a great one.  There is a windows version as well.  I suggest purchasing the plan Seagate offers, as it covers data loss and damage to the drive.
