Default SSD external drive?
What do you use? Looking for at least a 1T for storing movies and some pics. The movies are averaged 2gb so not that big.

My old external is not SSD and I fear losing everything on it and having to my start my collection over

What you got and how long has it lasted?

Again, I don't know how all that works. My patience is thin and I don't want to start breaking shit.

External drive, download to it, unplug it plug it in where she wants it, done

Snag a WD 32 terabyte HD, data redundant, and with a UPS is all you'll ever need. It's just a big external HD.

32 TB is a bit extreme 1 Tb is good enough for us

External memory is so cheap now that I go overboard in saving important files. I have a large amount of raw photo images I've taken and need to save long term. At first I was buying 1Gig SSD for it, now 30 gig or more is just as cheap, so I buy that size. In addition, I often buy two drives and save the same thing to both. One gets used, the other stored in case of failure of a drive. Pretty much all the major brand names are good quaility drives for me so far.

Buffalo 1TB SSD for around a hundred clams.

I use a Seagate 4TB for the same price...but its HDD.
both are USB connected, select 3.0 or 3.2....both are about the size of a wallet.

I have this to get data off of a dead laptop.

https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00EHDTRJ6...t_details&th=1

Could I use this as a storage hard drive or should I get a SSD external hard drive.

The original drive failed for a reason. Get what you can off of it and get the SSD external drive.

I had a friend of mine get one of these recently and he's happy with it.
