Question Use external drives for own data and programs instead of internal storage?

[Lafong]

Well, yes, because the data is so precious / important that actually it cannot be assessed.


A bit more, I think, from may be 220 $ for 10 TB. I would need some of them.

If it is that valuable, you should consider multiple backups...kept at multiple locations. Your home, a safe deposit box, a trusted relative, etc.

So you may need 30 TB or more, with a suitable rotation plan among them all.

Many thanks for the link.

I would need at least 10 TB.

Not available, I am wondering why:

So 260 $ for 14 TB:

If you're at the point of "I would need some of them"...

Yes, I have back ups for the most important data.

All of those show as available for me, deliverable Thursday or Friday.

Strange. Or simply a better availability in the US.
