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.

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.

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.

thats why spinning rust is a must for backups.
what's the difference between this and that? (sorry, not very tech savvy 😔)
