I always recommend a NAS (Network Attached Storage) running a RAID 1 or 5 with reliable enterprise-level hard drives with 5 yr warranty. Two of my friends EACH had four external drives fail before they finally broke down and had me build a RAID 5 NAS for them.
Hmmmmm-^^^ i have an external drive w about 10 years of photos on it
Rethinking that now....i have a 1 terabyte hard drive on my desk top pc.....may be moving them over ..... thx Jar!!!
