just got windows 10 and a new laptop. Bought a WD PASSPORT ULTRA external hard drive. Unlike my old desktop I Don't leave it attached all the time as it's a laptop which I pack away each time I've finished with it.

Currently using the software supplied with the drive to run the backups. Have recently been told that the WD doesn't create a mirror image backup

Would I be better removing the inbuilt software and using other software to run my backups.

Second question. As the drive has movable parts it presumably like all drives have a shelf life. Any recommendations as to how long this drive may effectively last would be useful.

Thanks
