To store family photos.
I read if the flash drive fails it's all gone forever but hard drive is more reliable.
Will this be more reliable than a flash drive?

What do you recommend at a reasonable price then? Want at least 500gb

only ever use Hitachi or HGST for HDDs.

Buy three so you can have 2 for backups
Grayson Turner
hgst doesn't even exist anymore
Nolan Rodriguez
HGST doesn't exist anymore
Seagate EXOS have replaced HGST, there are probably also a couple of other options.

buy old new stock.

I have 3 Canvios, they're good drives, the oldest is I believe 7 years old?
No smart errors, no dead drives.

no worries if it fails user, simply restore from backup

I have that exact drive. If you don't plan on moving it in the when used it's good. Sometimes i lay in bed to watch anime and it doesn't like when I move to much.

You overestimate our internet speed (20Mbps on a good day)

As long as you have no data cap it's fine. Because rclone is incremental, the first upload will take a long time, but it's smooth sailing from there.

Since you are asking about recovering photos from a failed drive Im assuming you will only save them in one place?
The only way to keep data truly safe is on at least 3 different devices, with at least 1 one them physically seperated from the others (in case of fire or other catastrophe).

Not really, I've had a couple portable HDDs that suddenly refused to spin up. Just keep backups.
Isaac Wood
hurr
Brayden Wilson
data can be restored from those tho
in SSDs data is gone

The fuck you saying? Toshiba is one of the most reliable drives lately. Check the backblaze drive failure numbers of 2019

Get at least two and mirror them
And store in different houses
And encrypt while you're at it

Why would you care? flash drives are dirt cheap, and if you need more storage you should just by an SSD.

Idiot

If you have data that you can't afford to lose you're being stupid by spending your time and effort trying to pick which model of drive is the most reliable. You should be buying several different drives and making backups.

I use 2 cloud storage places (one is free since my old university account from 5 years ago still gives me free unlimited Google Drive access) and MEGA I pay for, but this is because I travel a lot and can kind of afford this, so instead of carrying a hard drive with me I just have a huge media library on the cloud and computers in a few different countries. About 8TB of content total right now. The third backup I just go with the WD Easystore and keep in one location.
I'd recommend this if you can afford it.
Also no personal shit on the cloud. It's just somebody else's computer. Trust nobody. Personal shit just has to stay on the WD Easystore and buy multiple of these if necessary. Basically I'm recommending the Easystore if you aren't willing to upload shit to the cloud OP.

5tb onedrive costs like 10$ a month. Why even consider shitty drives that break easily?
Gavin Brooks
Are shuckable drives still a thing?
Gavin Price
Not everyone is a zoomer.
Jacob Butler
No. More and more of them have the USB controller built-in.
