We’ve had 2 Verbatim drives fail within the last month. Before that, multiple Kingston drives have failed us. I had a Sandisk that lasted a while but also failed after <6 months of usage. The drives are not abused in any way. They go back into a drawer after every backup.
We need something reliable going forward! We’ve been getting recommendations from the employees at Staples/Best Buy, but obviously they don’t know what they’re talking about.
We back up <1gb of data twice a day, every day. We select the option to overwrite the destination drive with the newer version from the hard drive. Not sure if this matters, but thought I would throw it out there in case it does.
What would be the absolute best and most reliable usb drive for us to get? Please include the make, model, and ideally a link if you can. Thank you so much in advance!
Edit to add that we only have regular USB slots on the computers, not the newer USB-C type.
