tl;dr I need to get some medium-big HDDs and a cloud storage account (does that work for 321?) for a the 4k video I use to do my job. My employer probably won't get me a RAID.

Our source video has gotten booted from Teams because it takes up too much space (fair), and I need to figure out a temporary solution that's also safe-ish.

I generate about 100GB of video every 45 days, and need to back up the video we already have.

My thought was that I could get a pair of external 8-16TB drives, and a bigger dropbox account. One drive is the working copy, backed up to Dropbox, and the other sits in my car.

What drive would be a good option for that?

I'm a graphic designer with just enough background in refurbed enterprise gear that I know drives are a deep rabbit-hole and that I should be storing my company's video archive on a RAID, but we're a sort of internal startup and trying to prove we can actually make a profit.
