What are the fail rates on these? Last I checked it wasn't so good, but that was 1-2 years ago.

How does this compare to the crucial X94 TB?. Is it faster, more compatible with ports, better warranty?

Ok, I agree price wise, for the market, good price but I am still not convinced to buy and sttore my photos and videos in it. If I will pay 300 bucks for a drive it needs to stay strong for a long time.

ymmv but SanDisk is still the only drive I've ever owned (out of dozens) that failed before the next upgrade. If the data matters to you, personally I wouldn't skimp on drives just to save $20-40.

Or buy in bulk and do a RAID setup with a cheap NAS. You could get 8 8tb drives with 48tb usable (up to 2 simultaneous failures) for around $600-700 at serverpartdeals.com for instance. Then failures don't really matter and you can go with refurb even. Setup ddns and you can access the nas from anywhere. r/datahoarder is a great resource for this.

If data is important for you, you'd do proper 3-2-1 backups.

That way I don't really care about the reliability of the drives that much because to be honest, HDD/SSD failures can be random for any brand.

My workflow is to use this SSD on the go to backup, and then when I'm on my laptop or at home I backup the drive to the cloud. The SSD is nice to have as a local place to edit.

It shouldn't be this expensive to back up basic files or for some of us data hoarders.
I don't see the point in wasting money on portable SSD if it's for data hoarding or just incremental back ups, or home-brew dropbox alternatives etc.

Regular spinning drives seem to be lasting longer, and I am curious what happened to 2.5" portable drives that fell off the face of the earth. 2TB or 5TB 2.5"
Like why not go with something like this and get 2 of them for redundance? https://www.amazon.com/Western-Di...B07X41PWTY
This is $120 for 5TB which is A LOT of space for anyone, years and years of pictures, forget about documents.

Does anyone make harddrive enclosures with built in raid options? Like I don't care about NAS etc, basically a running laptop, but why not make a small enclosure you can add 2 hard drives that show up as 1 with a small controller?
Perhaps we can do that with something like rPi and hook both drives to it and call it a day?

It seems like every recommendation lately involves setting up $1000 NAS or getting a Synology and spending hell lot of money on drives.
