Hey guys, how are you?

I'm an amateur photographer from a somewhat poor country, and after some data loss, I want to do it properly this time without breaking the bank.

I have a PC with two SSDs: one with Windows and apps, and a 1TB drive as my 'OneDrive' backup, which is 60% full. Everything I put there goes to the cloud.

This past year, I've been taking my photography more seriously and shooting a lot. I don't want to delete anything because my taste may change, and I want to preserve the possibility of finding new gems in my collection.

My idea is to buy three 2TB SSDs: the first two in RAID 1 and synced to the cloud, and the third one I would connect via USB at the end of every month for backing up the other two.

Is this a good idea? How can I improve without wasting my money? I don't have the means to buy a NAS system nor the room to build a custom server. I'm familiar with the 3-2-1 concept; do I fulfill it like this?

Thank you in advance! ๐Ÿ˜
