Sorry for my lack of knowledge, I searched the sub before posting and I saw a lot of information, but most was above my understanding.
I am looking for a "longer" term storage solution for photos and files. I do not need to edit them or anything like that. I need to transfer them and let them sit for months or years before they will even be opened up again.
From what I read, HDD would be better because it is recoverable in a worst case situation. However, I plan on getting two for redundancy. Once the files/photos are on here, I am deleting them from my phone and other storage. I have older WD's fail with newer version of MacBooks and had to use their plug in to access them.
Can someone recommend an external drive that is portable? I use all Apple products and only need 1TB at most.
Thank you!
