I'd get some kind of RAID setup, single drives can fail, but RAID would provide some backup if one or more drives were to fail. Plus they end up being quite a bit faster than a single drive since you're writing to multiple drives at once. It's been a while since I've looked into them, but a RAID5 would be a good balance of redundancy, speed, and cost.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/RA…A network attached raid gives the benefit of being able to access the data from anywhere, but could have some risks being online. usually they also have alternate connections that you could just use too.
Here's some recent reviews:

- I'd be worried using SSD for long term storage. if they are powered off too long, you can get data loss.akiersky
- And when linking to a Lightroom library, it's going to create lots of read/writes that will degrade the drive.akiersky
- yeah i agree, good response. soz, just nit picking the faster data transfer rate than a single drivekingsteven
