NAS is kind of overkill vs a SSD (caveat, unless you are doing media server stuff) -- (edited) - Reagen Oct 28, 05:55 1

I have a (solid state) hard drive at my office. I wouldn’t be comfortable with everything in my house, but I live in a high bushfire risk area. - mafic Oct 28, 05:50 3
- I meant using an SSD in an external case and I just want somewhere to backup my laptop and phone. Nothing crazy but lots of pics, videos and such. -- (edited) - Krusty Oct 28, 05:56 2
  - $100 a year is a bargain if you've ever had a HD fail on you without a backup. -- nm - Reagen Oct 28, 07:14
  - Yep, same. I just don’t like having the drive in the same place as the computer/phone. -- nm - mafic Oct 28, 07:01
