Anyone have a nice usb 3.0 external drive they could suggest for backing up my windows 7 computer?

Thank you!

Havn't got one yet, but will be looking for one soon. I'll probably stick with WD which I've used for many years without a problem. Fortunatly I have 2 USB3 sockets and don't need to buy a card.

you could simply have anoter internal drive for backups only, that way it doesnt cost as much and you get more storage for your money.

Samsung Spin Point F3 / 1TB

True... but then portability goes out the window. It's nice to have a backup that you can easily take with you if necessary. There are some nice 1TB models that don't cost much more than their internal counterparts.
