So my current setup is just my workstation, with a 4TB SSD plugged in via USB, and for now it serves me fine. My only issue and what keeps nagging at me is that I do not have any (absolutely any) redundancy, other than a 500 GB SSD that serves as my data transfer volume if I sometimes need to transfer the most crucial of my media / ETC to a different filesystem while switching OSs for example.
I looked in to S3 DeepArchive but I have no idea if there's an easy way to set this up as a consumer. I used to have Backblaze, so perhaps maybe it's worth it to start paying for that again? I just want something that I can throw data in to cheaply and I'm willing to have some expenses spent for retrieval, I just want to have the piece of mind that my data is *securely* stored and will never be gone if any of my hardware fails.
