My cousin pays for a cloud type service which features unlimited storage for a set monthly or yearly price. He syncs up with my cousins computers and backs up all their data automatically. I really should look into this. Yes hard drive prices are very reasonable right now and would definitely check up on your backups and make sure they are up to date. It is best to plan now instead of waiting until you lose data like me

Just stick to max 2TB drives so they can be in MBR format. I don't trust larger drives anymore
