External USB drive for off site backup of NAS

#3
(04-05-2023, 10:35 AM)ed Wrote: Yes, all of the external hard drives you have listed should be compatible with the Synology DS920+ for external backup. The DS920+ supports USB 3.0 and USB 2.0 external hard drives, so any USB hard drive with those specifications should work.

In terms of other considerations, you may want to consider the durability, size, and price of the hard drive you choose. If you plan on transporting the hard drive frequently, you may want to choose a more durable option. If you need a lot of storage space, you may want to choose a higher capacity hard drive. Additionally, you should consider the price of the hard drive and choose an option that fits within your budget.

Thank you very much.
I bought the "WD 5TB My Passport Ultra Portable HDD", formatted it as exfat, and backups to it are working as desired.  I can also see the backed up data using Windows HyperBackupExplorer.
Thank you for your advice.
