We should all back up our hard drives every so often, but no one likes setting aside time to actually do it. With a Polar Backup plan, you can select a file, folder, or even an entire drive to back up automatically.

Techradar gave Polar Backup a 4 out of 5, making it a trustworthy option to handle your precious files.
Cloud storage isn’t very useful if it’s slow. Thankfully, ThunderDrive offers a storage service that’s six times faster than Amazon, and your files can be accessed on any web or mobile browser.

On top of that, Degoo can replicate your files as they’re being backed up, so you’ll always have a working copy on hand in the unlikely event that one gets corrupted.

"These products change the patient's brain circuitry to help them be abstinent, to help them stay in treatment, and that's exactly what we see in randomized clinical trials and that's what we see in the real world."

But four years later, it seems that Spermageddon has been overblown. By a lot. And all that hype has obscured the real issue behind declining male fertility.
