So just had a fight with the morons that own the local computer store (not for the first time).
Me: Have you got any internal ssd drives?
Him: What size?
Me: At least 1tb.
Him: What do you mean at least 1tb?
Me: Bigger would be ok.
Him: They only make them up to tb.
Me: I can get up to 4tb online.
Him: Don't believe them.
Me: OK.
Her: Why do you want it?
Me: To back up pictures?
Her: You shouldn't be backing up internally.
Me: Why?
Him: If your computer gets hit by lightening you lose everything.
Her: If your computer gets a virus or gets stolen you lose everything.
Him: And you shouldn't be using ssd drives to backup it wears them out.
About another 10 minutes of this and I said stuff it, you obviously don't want my business and I walked out listening to her saying we strongly advise you don't backup internally (maybe I got confused and she was talking about my digestive tract).
Got home and rang the computer shop about 30 minutes drive away and they have them and I'll pick it up tomorrow.
Along with the rest of celebrity obsession.
I would also not advise having a sole backup be internal. But with that, aggressive ignorance and insisting the customer is wrong is a great way to lose sales.
It's not like I'm backing up national secrets. It's just for placing photos on to work with, speed is of importance. The few I cherish and can't live without are on external drives already.
And he's full of BS, ssd drives have been tested as more reliable than mechanical although it's a close run thing.

What they said about SSDs was actually somewhat true 15 years ago, but not now. A good, working SSD should be reliable.
I'm not defending them either though. From the transcript, it didn't sound like quality customer service.
It's not our first run in, he's an arrogant pig.

BTW, lighting strike to your pc will wipe out all electric stuff for several metres around (hence our nas as far away from the pc as the network allows)
Ww had a strike of the building next to our studio. It fried our alarm and all the computers that were left running overnight
So I guess you could say, lightning can turn an old PC into a current one.
Pun pUn puN
That is shocking and needs to go on the bad puns thread
It could. But with so many puns there already.... I wouldn't want to rain on people's parade.
My advice for what its worth.
Use ssds internally with your OS, programs and data installed (yes a pain reinstalling everything but worth it)
Have an external hdd for backup.
I can send you a batch file to run in the background that backs up your new and changed data to external drives if you want.
Have it run at startup or on a scheduler, voila, automatic backup.
Once it has run once (that may take some time) each time you start up it only takes a few seconds.
