I recently cancelled my Dropbox subscription, and will now be running local backups instead. For that purpose I need an external hard drive.
It seems most companies (Western Digital, Kingston, Seagate) are American, with Japanese Toshiba occasionally showing up in my search results.
Does anyone know of/have any experience with European storage manufacturers? If not I guess Toshiba will have to do. :)
I’m not aware of any EU companies that actually manufacture drives. Just a few like Synology who rebadge JP made drives.
I don’t think there are any European companies manufacturing HDDs themselves. Some, for example German Intenso, sell HDDs under their name, but the actual manufacturer will be a different one. For SSDs, there’s Swissbit and Goodram.
Does anyone know who produces the HDDs and SSDs for Intenso? But good to know Swissbit and Goodram are european.
