Hello everyone,

I'm looking for advice on the best storage device for long-term data backup. I want to create a local archive of all my data and am considering whether to use an SSD or an HDD. Which option is better for long-term storage?

Additionally, do modern SSDs or HDDs come with built-in security features such as password protection, or should I use separate encryption software to secure my data? I want to ensure that my information remains safe in case the storage device falls into the wrong hands.

Any insights or recommendations would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you!
