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.

      Yeah, I guess avoiding the US is probably the best I can do here.

      Maybe Verbatim (edit: and Synology) could be a good option - they’re Taiwanese, so at least it would somewhat align with my geopolitical positioning. :)
