I had a 2TB HDD that fell from a shelf and needs to be replaced, as it no longer functions.. I'm going for an external 4TB Seagate Expansion HDD.
Just curious about a few things...
- Is this type of drive at risk of damage or any less efficient laying on its side rather than upright?
- Any thoughts on this specific hard drive? (The 4tb Seagate Expansion, an external USB 3.0 HDD)
- How can I transfer my games and programs without risking damaging any files or losing any saves/important files and docs? Some games I have installed directly onto my main SSD from the internet or CD's; a number of them I've got installed from Steam, and another huge portion of applications are installed onto a separate hard drive to save space on my main disk. I'm guessing I have to reinstall everything. What about mods in games and stuff?
- Any tips on good apps that I can use to back up all my individual drives onto the 4TB? I used SyncToy for a while and liked it, didn't use it that much but if there are better free alternatives, I'd rather try those.
- Does anyone have any specific tips on what the best setups could be for something like this?
Thanks ya'll!
