    How large are the files?
    SSD drives are a lot more expensive than HDD but more reliable.
    I use several WD My Passport 5TB it is 2.5" portable drive and affordable.
    Some friends prefer the larger 3.5" drive like 18TB but I prefer to have several 5TB drives than one drive, just in case it fails.
    If you value your media, then you are advised to back up the drive by buying a similar drive.
    In the end, it is all a question of how much you are willing to pay.
