The last thing i bougth around 100โฌ was a portable SSD, its quit useful for backups and saving big files.
Also SSD prices has fallen in the last minths so you can get a 2TB SSD around 100 and an SSD Encloser for 15โฌ and your good to go.
PS: Pls, always have backup of your stuff. PLS
Any recommends on brand? I messed up by getting a really cheap SD and as a result all my images stored there on my phone are now corrupted. Fml
SSDs are not really good for long lasting backups. They hold data by electric charge, if you unplug your SSD and store it, then it might loose its data after just a couple of years. HDD "spinning rust" still has its merits when it comes to long term data storage, they hold their magnetic data longer without fresh power.
