Hello,

I have a laptop with a USB 3.1 c port. Its this laptop:

I have an external drive, this one:

But it takes something like 12 hours to backup 1 TB of data using the USB c port.

 

I can't change my laptop. But can someone recommend a good external HDD drive with a good cable that will speed up the backup transfer process for me? Or maybe link a good cable I can use that will speed up the transfer process from my existing external drive? Appreciate your help.

Before making any purchase fully read the article here which in part of it explains why you are experiencing slow back up times.
