I have about 10tb of external seagate drives (5 2tb drives) of photos from over the years. All Hardrives none are ssds. ( I have a few Samsung ssd that I use for travel and as temp storage)
Currently, each of the 5 drives are cloned onto a second drive as backup. (10 total) These are stored together and I often feel like I need a better archival backup system in place for fire or flood rather than just drive failure. I'd like to store a third backup of files I'm no longer frequently accessing at my parents house out state.
What's the best solution for this? A tower drive that I can just put everything into one? Or People have suggested RAID to me but I actually have no idea what that really is.
Cloud storage is just not cost effective for me right now.
