Last year my wife had a drive die on her and she was unable to recover anything off of it. So I got to thinking that I could get her two drives, one as a backup, but I’ve realized that technology has left me behind.
She uses a MacBook, takes most of her photos on an iPhone but occasionally uses a DSLR.
What’s the best set up to go about storage an ungodly amount of photos and have a back up? Two external hard drives? An internal hard drive (or two) in its(their) own case with an external back up?
I believe my wife wants a set up that is offline. It would only be used to store family photos/movies.

When I say best, I don’t mean top of the line. Best for its price point and its use.
Along with the set up, what’s the brand(s) to go for?

*tortilla blanket

There’s no proof there’s anything inside. Don’t f***ing lie to me.
It’s a tortilla blanket until someone wraps themself up in it.

RAID array. RAID 10, if my memory isn't shit, is probably going to be the best choice for preventing data loss. This will be perfect for offline storage.

You'll need a RAID controller and I think at least 4 drives.
