Hello there r/datahoarder. I'm not exactly a hoarder myself but I think it's really interesting reading about techniques, software and hardware.

My footprint for my digital stuff is actually comparatively small, currently about 450 GB. I use a simple 3-2-1 backup method. One of my backup hard drives is a Western Digital external 2.5 inch 3.0 USB 500 GB drive. It's about 5 years old so I think it's time to replace, right? Seems to be in good condition but you just never know.

Right now I'm thinking to replace it with a m2 1 TB drive in an external enclosure. No moving parts so I guess it's less prone to failure? I dunno. And m2 1 TB seems to be reasonably priced.

Any suggestions? Is this a generally good idea or should I do something else?

Thanks.
