Hello
It is In a backup plus slim bought in december 2018 but only 50 startup and 80 hours active now, do you think it can be still a good back up device ? with what we read about this model

Short answer : No.
Those drives are not suitable for backups.

After this one I ve bought a Seagate back up slim in july, ST2000LM007 inside, on Amazon website, sold as new, but recertified ... and it has now 160 reallocated sectors ... with only 136 start up, so I got the half pay back and renounced to send it back to get the rest, because of the covid ... I don't use it, and I replaced it in September by a 2.5" Toshiba ST2000LM007 without enclosure and with a Sata USB 3 adapter that is my main external back up now, in double with the ST1000 and a ST500-LT12
The Toshiba seems very good for the moment after 60 startup and half full of data
Yes I am on buying another one, though I see that to plug unplug directly on the disk may end bad but I use my back up rarely

ST2000LM007 is not a Toshiba.
