And what country can preserve its liberties if their rulers are not warned from time to time that their people preserve the spirit of resistance? Let them take arms. The remedy is to set them right as to facts, pardon and pacify them. What signify a few lives lost in a century or two? The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants.
I am at this very moment using a PC I built myself around a Ryzen gen 2 2600 cpu that has a Samsung 1TB SDD about the size of a credit card and I can add another one.
I've been using (2) of the Seagate 2TB USB 3.0 portable drives for the same purpose for about 3 years now with no problems. Never more shall I suffer the fate of a crashed HD. (I know, I know - never say never...)
As a 30+ year IT guy, a friend used to say, "Anyone can back up. An expert can restore."
I use a repurposed spare system with 3x2Tb drives running FreeNAS as my whole house backup system.
If you want portable, they now make a 2Tb thumb drive that is half the cost of the round, brown and spinning drive and it won't be subject to damage by magnets or G shock loads.
It appears to have issues - read the reviews. I've been using a Kingston 128GB 3.0 for a couple years to transfer vid files and it has worked good. Funny, the amazon link from my ordered list shows a 32GB rather than the 128 I bought.
What I really want is a Wifi 4T drive that can use to back up the files from all the PC's and use as a central storage unit without needing to be connected through a PC.

ReplyDeleteI got a 1 terabyte Seagate external HD I back up on. Works great.
