Currently I have about 50 GB of photos and videos. I had another 100 GB of movies, comics and books that I wanted to hoard but they got deleted out of my stupidity and I can't get them back.

Now looking to make sure my photos and videos are stored safely. I am hesitant to use cloud services because I want everything with me, locally.

Current plan is to buy a 128 GB San disk pen drive to store duplicates of my data that will also be stored on my laptop. I want to eventually switch to hard disks or ssd's in a few years but I am just a student right now and need a cheap solution.

Will this approach be reliable for a few years for storing my minimal data before I switch to a more expensive setup?
