I want to archive all my photos to a HDD and keep it in the safe deposit box. This way if I was ever to lose/encounter an HDD failure of the main HDD that I use for transferring photos off my camera/computer, Id still have a good backup of my stuff.
So the question is, what should I buy?
They have nice 1+TB drives that are USB 3.0 and in the 2.5" form factor, fully enclosed. That would be sensible to minimize volume and be a convenient size. But is that the best bet? Would I be better off buying a bare full size 3.5" drive? I have a hard plastic case that I could store it in to keep it clean. I have a SATA-USB device in my home that I can use to make it a USB 3.0HDD when Im actually updating the files on it.
What would you recommend? Our box isn't very big, so I don't want something too bulky. Quality and ability to archive data for the long run is important.
Thanks!
