My existing External Drive, My Book Essential 1 TB, is now full. I am at a juncture wherein I need to decide on my next course of action. The options I can think of are:
- Procure a new WD device, like the My Passport 4TB Portable External Hard Drive
- Opt for a Cloud based solution
- Look at other competitive options in the market
In case there is a seamless manner in which I can transfer the backed up data from the My Book Essential to a new WD device, then option 1 makes sense. However, if the steps involved in options 1 & 3 are the same, I may as well look at other competitive solutions.
In case of option 2, is there a way to transfer existing backed up data?
I am based in India, hence, am looking for options relevant for India.
Look forward to suggestions…
