get a nas for you primary storage... SSDs raided for that sweet redundancy. . replicate that to another identical, stand alone nas. replicated that to a cloud provider. problem solved. kinda pricey.
SSDs need to be powered periodically to not lose bits to the cells losing trapped electrons. For offline storage HDDs are a better option.
eh, i didnt mention any offline hardware
but now that you mention it, i have a 'bug out' bag with 12 spinning rust drives with an old backup in case i need to leave the house in a hurry.. but i admittedly rarely update it
just easier to grab the nas nowadays...
what i mean bv 'stand alone nas' is that is should should receive the same data, but not be dependent on any upstream device to re-serve that data
Sorry if my comment came over as criticising your approach, I just wanted to add that information if someone wanted to use it. What I wanted to say is: if you have a NAS, you need to have reliable cold storage which is not SSDs.
12 drives in the go bag seems a bit much, as I don't think the weight to usefulness ratio would be great if you really needed to leave the house in an emergency.
yeah, i hear ya on the inefficiency... the 12 drives were just what i did with my old drives. i didnt really have a use for them, didnt really want to dump them so i repurposed them into an old foam lined pelican case. highly recommend those cases.
not really realistic with data density approaching ridiculous.
For me a single 2TB 2.5 inch external HDD in a shockproof case and a 1TB SSD contain all of my most important data (mostly scanned documents and personal media like photos, phone backups and letters). I have a Syncthing folder which syncs to my phone and is mirrored to the SSD once a week, while the HDD is used as a restic target. I don't want to lug around 3kg of disks when my house is on fire, war breaks out or an axe murderer chases me.
