A place to politely discuss the tools, technique and culture of photography.

This is not a good place to simply share cool photos/videos or promote your own work and projects, but rather a place to discuss photography as an art and post things that would be of interest to other photographers.

so i went to best buy explaining my problems knowing i’ll prob need a hard drive and i was right. he recommended me 2 that seem pretty good, the specific one that i liked was the samsung portable ssd t7 shield (2tb), it is on sale for $119. i told this to my mother, obviously i saw the price so i was hoping she would buy it for me in the meantime while i get some shifts to pay for it. but she just brushed it off and started to look on amazon for one for about 70$ and i have a feeling this won’t end well. and last time i didn’t speak up about what i thought i got stuck with a nice but slow computer. i feel like the samsung hard drive would be a great investment bc i am constantly moving with it for school and it seems difficult to damage - but what do y’all think?

I would recommend two types:

Samsung SSD T7 for fast delivery and portability. (Super fast read speed for mass file transfer)
LaCie Rugged for long term storage and durability. (Best overall quality and performance)

I travel with my Samsung SSD and when I come back home I dump the photos/videos into my LaCie hard drive.
