  My old external HDD started making odd noises, so I replaced it last weekend. Restoring my backups took nearly 36 hours, but it was all there. Phew!

My external drive is a LaCie 2-TB.  I have two, for main and backup.
So far, so good....

My first external HDD was a LaCie. I hope they've implemented some shock protection since the model I bought. One fairly mild bump, and it stopped working.
 
Currently, my backup (and my old HDD) is a Toshiba, bought a few years ago. The replacement drive is a Samsung and while it is still the same capacity (2 terabytes), it is about half the size of the Toshiba in all three dimensions. Not much bigger than a pack of cards, in fact.
 
So I can slip 2 terabytes into my pocket, and there's extra 32 gigabytes hanging on my keyring on an inch-long flash drive. Technology marches on... I can remember the first time I had a whole megabyte of space on a PC!

This is quite a good 2015 take on 90's alt rock. Touch of grunge. Good rock album!
 

 
and from Amebix fame....love this punk metal album
 

 
gorgeous singer/songwriter folkish album inspired by the death of a parent. A new favorite for me in the s/s genre

in hindsight I should had not only backed up to an ext. HDD, but also back-up the back-up to a second drive. I think that's what most servers do - have multiple back-ups. it can get expensive, but is the only way to go to keep data safe. I get it now. 
 
I think the secret in having external/potable HDD lasting a few years is to never, ever move them when they're operating. Most people believe because they're "portable" they can be tossed around... and that when the damage happens, imo.

Come And Get It - The Best Of Apple Records - Various Artists

Just like the remastered Beatles album, these are fantastic on the headphones. They even stuck a headphone on the cover!
