Data Hoarder

We are digital librarians. Among us are represented the various reasons to keep data -- legal requirements, competitive requirements, uncertainty of permanence of cloud services, distaste for transmitting your data externally (e.g. government or corporate espionage), cultural and familial archivists, internet collapse preppers, and people who do it themselves so they're sure it's done right. Everyone has their reasons for curating the data they have decided to keep (either forever or For A Damn Long Time (tm) ). Along the way we have sought out like-minded individuals to exchange strategies, war stories, and cautionary tales of failures.

Just looking for a relatively inexpensive SSD to serve as back up for some pictures/videos.

Side question - is cloud storage a good option too? Not sure how it would be relative price wise.

Are you looking for external or internal SSD?

As for external, you can look for Samsung T7, have no issues with it, it can sometimes get hot under the load.

As for internal, crucial ssd are pretty decent for their price, no major issues with them.
