Hello!
I'm having trouble in choosing the ideal method to keep my data. As for now, I'm having a 250 disc-case full of DVDs which are full with files that are important to me. I want that data to be mobile, so I dont want a regular HDD. My question is if it's better to buy an external HDD of let's say 1TB or maybe 2 external HDD of 500GB or so... in order to place my data. My intention however, is not to periodically transfer information but to keep it as long as I can. I believe that HDD have a longer lifespan than DVDs and it would be alot more organized having all my things in one HDD rather than divided into 250 parts, but are those HDDs really fit to keep information for longer terms or not? If it helps in anyway, most of my data are video files.
Thanks in advance.
