8TB Backup Hard Drive with USB 3.0

A backup is only a backup if it’s stored on a separate device. This 8TB external storage drive is designed for that purpose: connect it via USB 3.0, let your backup software save a copy, then disconnect it so the copy stays out of reach of anything that happens to your computer. Eight terabytes is enough to store the full contents of several laptops, including older versions. The drive gets its power through the USB cable, so there’s no need for an adapter or power outlet, and it’s backward compatible with USB 2.0 for older machines.

Specifications

• 8TB capacity: 8000GB, plenty of space for a full system image plus older backup versions.
• USB 3.0 interface: Fast transfer speeds mean a complete backup won’t take all night.
• USB 2.0 compatible: Also works with older laptops and desktops without an extra adapter.
• USB-powered: No separate power adapter needed; one cable handles both data and power.
• Durable plastic casing: Resistant to bumps and scratches during transport.
• Portable size: Small enough to store in another location, which is what makes a backup truly secure.

A backup routine you can stick to

Most backups don’t fail for technical reasons, but human ones: they simply don’t get made. So set a regular time — for example, every Sunday evening — to connect the drive and run your backup software: use File History on Windows, Time Machine on macOS, or a separate program that copies files from one folder to another. Then disconnect the drive and store it somewhere other than next to your computer; this protects it not only from a broken laptop but also from theft, fire, and ransomware. With 8TB, there’s room to keep several generations of backups side by side, so you can still retrieve a file from three months ago.
