--This may be beyond the scope of what you want to do for backups, but the Samsung T5 has a 2TB USB3 model (a bit pricey at over $300 at time of writing) but it's crazy fast. I have 3 of the 500GB models and they're great.
--You may also, if technically inclined, want to look into ZFS (has LZ4 inline compression and snapshots) and mounting a Samba share to back up to over the network instead of formatting as NTFS. I'm willing to help with this as I contribute to the reddit zfs forum as well.
