If you need a new external hard drive

[EvelynD2]

I just bought a new portable external hard drive that I can take with me in the car and on the go. I have one that is not portable but I wanted something I could use when I am not sitting at my computer desk. It will even be nice to use it in the living room while watching a movie with Tod. My new portable drive is 5 TB and was only $110.00 at Walmart. It's regularly $160. Here is the model:

Seagate 5TB Backup Plus External Portable Drive USB 3.0, Black​

I have had problems with Seagate. Is it solid state, Evelyn?
I purchased a solid state Sandisc 4TB, I believe. I have it in a little pocket adhered to the back of my laptop screen so I don't have to keep plugging and unplugging it. Have laptop, will travel!

Here's a photo of the EHD on my laptop, Evelyn.

I've got a few externals. Seagate is a good one.

@vickyday Love that sleeve to project the EHD, I've not seen that before. That's brilliant!

Where did you get the little pocket from? That is so handy!

@EvelynD2 @bcgal00 I love it! Here's the Amazon link to a couple. I think I got the first one but they all look about the same. HERE

I see a lot on the canadian amazon, so that is good to know. When I get a new laptop I think I'll get a sleeve too for when I travel.

I've had trouble with Seagates too, let's face it, it's not if an ehd is going to fail, but when, but my Seagates failed faster than the Western Digital hard drives I've had. I have a small portable SSD drive that I use with my laptop for an SSD scratch drive. It's smaller than the palm of me hand, 1TB and I got it in 2019 for $151. I don't travel with my laptop, but it's usb c so it connects to my tablet. This summer I put some of my new scrapping stuff on it SO I could putz at the lake with organizing. I LOVE that pocket! I broke one that I used with my laptop one summer when I forgot it was attached , one too many times, and stood up & it landed on the tile floor.

Well I don't have a laptop but this little case looks like it's weight in gold.

As for EHD's I use Western Digital. No Seagate experience, but it sounds like what you got Evelyn @EvelynD2 is an excellent product at a favorable price point!
