[QUOTE="krs, post: 1936783, member: 67742"] Thanks Randy, Getting a faster backup would be nice (2 TB Crucial SSD vs 2 TB Seagate spinner), but more important is long term reliability. Every year I keep one of the backups in longer term storage - just sitting there. People claim they have lost images when upgrading macOS, then I want to go back, dig out a backup from 2013 and an old Mac that will run that old macOS and have them look for those "lost" images. I have actually been able to access external spinners from as far back as the year 2000. So I'm wondering if an SSD like the Crucial or a spinner like the Seagate has the best chance to be accessed 10 to 15 years from now. [/QUOTE]
