Go to online storage

External storage is pretty straight forward. Pick any in the middle of the roas pricing and you'll be fine. And get one larger than you think you'll ever need because things her put on them but rarely deleted, around 1tb will be plenty for life. I would go with an actual drive in an enclosure that connects with a USB cable and not a small thumb drive as those tend to wear out and break faster or get lost.

Yes sir. Exactly. Either will suit you fine. Also dont forget that we have an affiliate link to Amazon either on the top of the page on the desktop version or the left menu button on mobile.

I have the WD My Passport Ultra. I take thousands of digital camera photos every year. I store many of them on this device. Had it about 5-7 years with no issues.

I've got the transcend 1TB and it's served me well.
