If you're really worried about losing files. It would be best to get three hard drives and set them up in a raid 5 configuration. That way you can easily rebuild if one hard drive fails.

Is this reliable? I have a bunch of old ones that don’t work anymore. Need something good that will last. Can anyone attest to this model? Or have suggestions?

Received mine today. Got a WD80EFAX that was only powered on 4 times and 0 hours. The wrapping was still on the drive so I'm guessing I just received a brand new one.

Huh? It's just a PC with an external HD plugged in, like normal. No adapters or anything tricky. Internal syncs to the external. You can also sync to a network share if you prefer.

That's what RAID and backups are for; refurbished or otherwise, you're never safe from a drive failure.
