Hi photography friends,
I'm looking to upgrade my backup solution for my tens of thousands of photos. Currently I have a 2(?)TB external HDD that is almost full. When I upgrade, should I move to an SSD instead? Any preferred brands?
Also, and I know this is a really stupid question, but when it comes to copying my photos from one location to another, does the image retain original quality? In other words, does copying your images degrade their quality? And if so, is there a way around that?
Thanks everyone!
Oh man, this is all fantastic information! Currently my workflow is the below:
°Import photos into folder on external HDD °Import photos from HDD folder into Lightroom °Edit in Lightroom, export back into HDD folder
I thiiiink my mobile photos on my phone itself are backed up to Google Photos and Amazon Photos, but I don't know about those on my desktop.
I just looked into Backblaze, seems to be a good price for what it does.
If I can't afford a Synology, is a large HDD from WD or similar just as effective? When working properly, of course.
