I have a seagate 1gb hard drive but I always plug and unplug it, so the connection is annoying. It disconnects even if I move my laptop a tiny bit.
I think we're getting a new desktop soon so we might get a portable hard drive to do backups on for the desktop.
What experiences have you had with portable hard drives and what ones do you recommend?

Western Digital or seagate it doesn't really matter when it comes to portables. However the problem you have with your seagate just sounds like something that will eventually happen on any USB device sadly. They only have a limited amount of insertions and eventually wear out. Same for the usb ports.

Could it be the cable that's dodgy instead of the actual drive? And thanks

Some advice, stay away from Toshiba HDDs at all costs. Had 3 of them and every single one died, it's just the nice prices are so nice. Even my friends had Toshiba drives that died. Their external drives are trash compared to the internal ones. I've opened up a couple and found a custom drive (it wasn't SATA) that connect to a PCB that converted the connection to USB3.0. Regardless avoid.
