I have many schematics and PDF's I couldn't even begin to find again and lots of photographs of my family etc.

I just need a back up storage devise to set aside in case my HDD craps out.
I lost my HDD two years ago and had to have the info' extracted with a ghost drive but fortunately a friend who is an IT professional, did it for me.

I am seeing a lot of negative comments about these storage devises, as you can see in my above post.

I understand if you sell enough of something, one or two will go belly up.
I am trying to find reliable equipment that will be supported for a while and can do a simple back up without engaging an IT guy to do it for me .

I'm trying to buy with this research from you all to reduce future problems.
