Editor’s Pick: WD Passport 6TB
A seriously chunky backup drive
It might be slow, but it does come in some lovely colorways.

I’LL CONFESS, my attitude to backing up information is fairly Spartan. I’ve been flattening my PC and reinstalling Windows at the slightest inconvenience for the last 14 years or so. It’s the simplest solution for me. Graphics driver issue? Flatten it. Game not loading correctly? Flatten it. Weird hardware bug that doesn’t make any sense? Flatten it. Given how easy it is to reinstall Windows, and the amount of bugs and registry mishaps it clears away, I advocate that everyone does a hard reset every six months or so.
