SSD Storage Above 2TB When?-

[TonyK]

I suggest this unit. Have purchased 2 and love them. They are USB powered (no external brick) and are highly portable.

Realizing it is not internal means there could be a concern for security but that is when the drive is encrypted (as it should be anyway, internal or external) and this then doesn't limit you to your current computer.

I think by March 2018 maybe 2K for 4TB as the additional upgrade price

I would say 2019 myself its just too much of a cost as an option to make it worth their while even offering it.

Thx very much - Part of the drawback of externals is they complicate your backup strategy though.
Right now I use SuperDuper for local full clone backup as well as Crashplan for Small business for offsite. When you have another drive that's external it definitely complicates matters

I would never recommend storing that much of sensitive data locally on a laptop and on a drive that could fail at any given time.
Get your self NAS with 4-6 drives in raid 1. And you can set it up at home, so you can access it from anywhere in the world.

If you lose your laptop or if it’s get stolen. How are you going to get your sensitive data back????

There is nothing complicated about clicking and dragging folder or files to external drive.
There is plenty of various softwares out there that once setup will copy files when you connect to NAS via usb or to a network.

NAS also comes with its own backup software.

I use ChronoSync for all my backups and have since 2008/2009 timeframe. It is highly flexible. Others use Carbon Copy Cloner (CCC) or SuperDuper (SD), all with great success.

All that needs to be done is connect your primary external to your computer, connect the backup external and backup. I do this on a regular basis and have experienced no issues.
