I'm thinking one these in a 2 or 3 TB variety. If one of my other externals goes I need some place to keep the data that's on that, don't I?

I am seeking a replacement external hard drive that (accroding to CrystalDisk Info) has 4 bad sectors.

 

At lest 1.5 TB (although 2 TB may be better)

Should use:

  • USB 2.0 (or 3.0)
  • Or Firewire (incase all my other USB ports are taken)
  • Or eSata (that should be the fastest, yes?)

peas and tanks you (please and thank you). I am in the US so Amazon.com, newegg . . . .
