Desktop Data Storage--NAS or large capacity SSD

If you would like to post, you'll need to register. Note that if you have a BCG store account, you'll need a new, separate account here (we keep the two sites separate for security purposes).

I am planning to add another 20 tb single hard drive for second local backup.

Is there some recommendation on a particular brand?
I buy mine from OWC…their enclosures seem to be better built and I’ve had very few problems with them. I typically get the enterprise drive version that costs a bit more because those drives are supposed to last longer in 24x7 operation. For main drives…go Thunderbolt but for everything USB (even the older A type) is fine for backups. All my backups except BackBlaze happen via CarbonCopyCloner tasks overnight and only the first one takes very long anyway.
