Recommended Premium External Storage for Backup & Photo Library

External SSDs we'd trust with our own data. We run a data recovery bench, so we've seen which portable drives survive being dropped and knocked and which ones lose everything. The picks here favour durability and warranty, the things that actually keep your files safe.
