Nice, was thinking about 2 gig for home and 1 for travel
Perfect, thanks for the links.
I use several drives on my work station. I'm fearful that they will fail and they have. My backup is a Drobo on another work station that is completely separate. I do expect a crash so a third backup is also running. Truthfully I purposefully don't connect all to copy at the same time and off the same Bus because I know the sh-- will hit the fan sooner than later.

For travel, I use a pair of 4 TB SanDisk SSD drives. One as a primary and one for backup. I have never had a problem with data loss using the SanDisk SSDs.
Those are great and not very expensive $240 a piece at Costco

For a fast and reliable Working drive in the 1-4TB size I can highly recommend the drives from OWC (Other World Computing) They are shock resistant and waterproof, and among the fastest drives you can buy.
I have been using them for several years without a single issue.
For Backup you really do not need that level of speed, just get premium spinning drives.

Would like to hear from you regarding your choices of portable SSD storage. Looking to add both a travel unit and a back up unit for my laptop. Not looking for a RAID drive or anything super expensive. See lots of nice looking options from Seagate but found lots of negative stuff regarding failures. That however was dated back in 2023. Have their issues been solved yet?
Thanks,
I had a 2 TB Samsung SSD and I was always misplacing it due to it's small size and neutral gray color. I switched to the SanDisk 2 TB and now the 4TB SSD drives which are a darker gray but have bright orange strip in side the window.

How long have you been using those?
I like the look and size but in 2023 they had a rash of defective ones.
Thanks, those drives are interesting. Very good price at 99 for the 2 TB units.
