I feel like I'm using this place as my own personal help desk, but also, you have knowledge that I'm severely lacking in. I always end up learning useful basic stuff.

I have external HDDs for backups (WD Passports) I've had for a few years, and I'd like another one *just* to store photos and videos on. It doesn't need to do anything fancy. It will just be another location to store everything, like a backup, but also so all the media is in one place.

Is another Passport a good way to go because it's what I know? Is it a cardinal sin against technology to use that brand and there's a whole discourse I've missed out on about how they're secretly raising a pig army to lead the revolution? (Actually, I'm fully on board with this... Anyway...)

If there weren't so many photos, I'd print all of them out and have millions of physical photo albums. This might the next best thing. Do you have any advice beyond, "please don't purchase anything from Temu"?
