I have an old WD My Book Essential External HD. In the past I have lost a lot of files. I would use its interface and didnt realize it only copies your current files over the old one's. I was told i should have just copy/paste into the drive itself.
If I buy your recommendation of SanDisk Professional 4TB G-DRIVE Enterprise-Class USB 3.2 Gen 1 External Hard Drive, will I have to copy/paste or is its interface much better than my old HD?
I dont want to continually lose files because I dont know what Im doing!
p.s. I have them on a 2nd backup, so technically not completely lost.

I am planning on buying a new External HD.
