Hi everyone,
I am looking to buy a new external drive for the sole purpose of storing and archiving important personal data. This includes thousands of irreplaceable family photos, home videos, and personal records that I cannot afford to lose.
Any advice on choosing drives or specific backup strategies for personal archives would be highly appreciated.
Thank you!

It features transfer speeds of up to 2,000 MB/s over a USB 3.2 Gen 2x2 connection, which cuts backup times for huge files down to seconds.
The rubberized carbon shell provides 3-meter drop protection and prevents it from overheating.
It supports AES 256-bit hardware encryption so your private data remains safe.
It is also highly recommended to implement an off-site cloud storage solution as well.

I think just about any external SSD drive would be a reliable option.

Thanks for all the helpful advice, everyone! I really appreciate the quick responses. The T9 seems like the perfect option for me, so I'll definitely look into buying it.
