Hi! I'm a lurker here, but I rarely upgrade my hardware. Now I'm thinking it's time to expand my backup system.
Here's what I'm thinking: SSD for backup (photos, documents, whatever), and then an HDD (of an equal or larger size) purely for redundancy. I don't have a desktop (rather, I do, but it's old and I'm just too sentimental to get rid of it), so it'll have to be external drives.
Right now, the two drives I'm looking at are Samsung T7 SSD and WD Elements Desktop HDD.
Anecdotally, I have a Seagate 2TB SSD that I like just fine, but it replaced a Seagate Expansion which crashed on me a few years back (almost a disaster, but I saved the data). I also have a SanDisk Extreme Portable SSD, which I use just for games, and it crashed two weeks ago. (They RMA'd it in no time!) Anyway, I'm trying to diversify.
Thoughts? Advice? Recommendations? Criticism? All welcome. Thanks in advance.
