[QUOTE="Nik, post: 86550, member: 1"] SSDs are the way to go unless you're looking to archive terabytes in which case they become cost prohibitive. They typically have a lower failure rate compared to consumer grade spinning ones although it's hard to extrapolate actual failures due to the way OEMs report failures. SSDs are for sure far more rugged, will survive minor drops and more extreme temperatures. In terms of backup (as I tell everyone), you need to have a good 3 way strategy for really important things: 1. Local backup on HDD media (i.e. other drives, SSD or regular HDDs) 2. Archive on long term media (DVDs, Bluerays) 3. Off-site backup (cloud or another machine that isn't in your physical location) It's overkill for most, but at least have one offsite and one onsite backup for your critical data. [/QUOTE]
