External hard drive recommendations please

[AutisticLegoLover]

I have thousands of photos I need to take off my laptop and iphone. Can anyone recommend an external hard drive please?
Thank you😊

Doesn't matter which brand they will/may fail. Seagate or Toshiba are good. They should all be ssd now ie no moving parts. BUT you should save across platforms ie hard drive and cloud. The cloud costs money but its saved away from a hard drive. Edit your photos. Do you need every pic and when did you last look at some of them

I'm going to slowly go through them at by day and delete unnecessary ones. There's 12000 on my phone alone😱

They're a lifesaver for photos, especially with phones these days taking pictures that rival fancy cameras. Speaking of saving precious memories, avoid the "tech tears" situation and get a good quality one!

I did a bunch of research before getting mine (because who wants to lose irreplaceable memories to a dud drive?), and found this website https://starla.uk/ that rates different external hard drives based on things like storage size, durability (because let's face it, they're not always the most graceful gadgets!), and warranty. It was super helpful!
