Hey everyone (:
I want to take a long trip all over the country, and I wanna store all, if not most, of my personal data and files, I also plan to format my computer and I need to get an HDD asap nontheless.
Currently I use around 1500 GB to 1TB of data all over my platforms.
(I am very strict and worried about losing my data, all of it is on various SSD's.)
I know that my best chance of keeping my data is backing it up on iCloud, Online Drive etc...
But I am also willing to keep it on an external HDD. I heard that the WD Elements HDD's are some of the finest.
What is more realible, in terms of safety? and why?
2x 2TB HDD (and split my current 2tb of data between them, or make copies)
or
1x 4TB HDD (and just trust on this one for the long run)
My ambition is to store it in a room for a long time (around 1-2 years). so please take note.
Thank you very much <3
EDIT 1#
Another thing I forgot to ask is:
Does smaller external HDD's are safer than larger ones?
Like should I get 2x2TB because its more 'safer' (data-wise) than 2x4TB?
