Hi all,

Completely new to all this and have been trying to research and understand RAID and NAS etc. and just feel more confused 😂.

Anyways I recently had my external hard drive die, with at least two years of work on it. I write and record music and basically save those session files on an external drive.

Is the most simple way to save and backup files literally just buying two hard drives, and every now and then just transferring over new files to the second/back up hard drive?

Just looking for a cost effective and simple option. It just seems there is no real 100% safe option.
