What are the fail rates on these? Last I checked it wasn't so good, but that was 1-2 years ago.

How does this compare to the crucial X94 TB?. Is it faster, more compatible with ports, better warranty?

Ok, I agree price wise, for the market, good price but I am still not convinced to buy and sttore my photos and videos in it. If I will pay 300 bucks for a drive it needs to stay strong for a long time.

ymmv but SanDisk is still the only drive I've ever owned (out of dozens) that failed before the next upgrade. If the data matters to you, personally I wouldn't skimp on drives just to save $20-40.

Or buy in bulk and do a RAID setup with a cheap NAS. You could get 8 8tb drives with 48tb usable (up to 2 simultaneous failures) for around $600-700 at serverpartdeals.com for instance. Then failures don't really matter and you can go with refurb even. Setup ddns and you can access the nas from anywhere. r/datahoarder is a great resource for this.

If data is important for you, you'd do proper 3-2-1 backups.

That way I don't really care about the reliability of the drives that much because to be honest, HDD/SSD failures can be random for any brand.

My workflow is to use this SSD on the go to backup, and then when I'm on my laptop or at home I backup the drive to the cloud. The SSD is nice to have as a local place to edit.

It shouldn't be this expensive to back up basic files or for some of us data hoarders.
I don't see the point in wasting money on portable SSD if it's for data hoarding or just incremental back ups, or home-brew dropbox alternatives etc.

Regular spinning drives seem to be lasting longer, and I am curious what happened to 2.5" portable drives that fell off the face of the earth. 2TB or 5TB 2.5"
Like why not go with something like this and get 2 of them for redundance? https://www.amazon.com/Western-Di...B07X41PWTY
This is $120 for 5TB which is A LOT of space for anyone, years and years of pictures, forget about documents.

Does anyone make harddrive enclosures with built in raid options? Like I don't care about NAS etc, basically a running laptop, but why not make a small enclosure you can add 2 hard drives that show up as 1 with a small controller?
Perhaps we can do that with something like rPi and hook both drives to it and call it a day?

It seems like every recommendation lately involves setting up $1000 NAS or getting a Synology and spending hell lot of money on drives.

i've had a few old SSD's just stop working. there was no SMART warning, no slown down, and they didnt even go into read mode only like they were supposed to. never trust an SSD.

thats why spinning rust is a must for backups.

BAD DEAL ON 4TB … crucial X10 2X speed $60 cheaper Amazon … on max and most PCs because it will give you upper 800 to 900 Mb per second which I think the sandidk would only give 400 to 600 per second … due to the crappy USB 3.2 Gen 2x2 standard which no computers support
