Hello. Drive died, lost a ton of things... Learned my lesson.

Now I want to buy another drive, this time I'm buy two, so if one dies, I have the other.

What are your budget recommendations for a cheap, long-term storage solution?

I'm lost since all these options are presented to me:

  • Refurbished external drive
  • NVMe with enclosure
  • Budget RAID solution too maybe?

Currently, from what I've found: Is $38 good for a PNY SDD with 500GB?

Full details: (PNY CS1030 500GB M.2 NVMe PCIe Gen3 x4 SSD - M280CS1030-500-RB)

Thanks
