Hi all, I’m considering buying the Seagate Expansion 1TB External HDD (STKM1000400) with USB 3.0. It comes with 3 years of Data Recovery Services, and I plan to use it for storing family photos and videos.

I don’t have much knowledge about these types of things, so I’m sorry if this isn’t the right place to ask. I’ve read about SMR technology and I’m assuming it should be fine for my needs. I’m also thinking about using AWS Glacier as a second backup. Is that a good choice for my situation? Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!
