Hacking Photography - one Picture at a time
It’s World Backup Day today. Yes, that’s right, there’s a World Backup Day, your annual reminder to set up a system to back up your stuff so that you don’t lose it all in the event of a hard drive crash! So, we’ve been looking around the web to find the best deals on memory cards, hard drives and SSD storage so that you can take your backup game up to the next level this year.
We’ll be updating this list throughout the day as we spot more deals, so bookmark it and keep checking back!
Hard drives are something that all of us have. Some of us just have the one our computer came with, while others will have a whole mountain of them. I’m in the latter camp, although I do try to keep things to a minimum. Every few years I replace all my storage drives as faster, cheaper, larger capacity drives are released.
So, every few years I’m in the market for new drives. So, I look at large consumers of hard drives. Consumers like Backblaze, who just released their Q3 2018 report, showing their hard drive failure rates and they’re quite surprising. At least, they surprised me. It seems that those huge 8TB, 10TB and 12TB drives are actually far more reliable than smaller drives.
