Long term file storage

I run a nas plus a USB SSD, weekly back up and it goes in my laptop bag so out of the house most of the time. So effectively have 3 copies and one in a different location.

Already had data loss via cloud so don't trust it for anything important.

I have a couple of SSD drives with pics etc on them...prob around 90gb...

Is it worth also backing up onto HDD's too? If so, what make/model would you guys recommend? Max 2tb...

If you value the data, absolutely.

WD/Seagate are the main ones I go with on HDDs.
