As the title pretty much summarises, storing data in External HDD (especially the ones which require power supply) is not exactly a risk-free solution. I have burnt my hands more than once even with much reputed brands in the market. There are a wide range of issues like the HD going undetected, cannot be mounted or partition table, bad sector, wow!

I currently have all my data finally cornered to a 4TB external HD (with external power) at the risk of extinction. What are recommended ways for saving huge data locally without worrying about losing it. Is it that inevitable at all.

Thanks in advance.

PS: DvD/BluRayDs is one option for the worst case. Looking for some others too if any.

Maintaining a local backup is not very difficult and is very achievable with little effort.

What you will need:

What you can do:

or

  • Plug in 2-3 drives
  • Declare a "Master" drive which you interact with (add/copy/delete files to and from)
  • Set up SyncToy to do a daisy-chained echo process from Master->Slave->Slave
  • The echo option will mimic all adds/updates/deletes made to the Master drive
