I have a lot stuff that i store and use occasionally and need to safely store them. I currently have a 1.5 TB internal and external and apparently my external dies after a year and need to know the best thing to do. My internal is almost 2 years old and external is 1. I use S.M.A.R.T To check everything and they seem fine but i need to know for future reference. Since most externals don't last long what is the best thing to store data on.
Edit: im currently in a dorm and dont care for a fire or it being stolen im more worried about storage and keeping it safe since i store and use my externals all the time and they are on at least all day exept for at night
