Shouldn't you just keep all files(except large programs) that you use(such as hardcore tranny porn, scripts, Pepes) on a USB instead of your hard drive? There doesn't seem to be any real benefit of keeping them on a hard drive, plus you can make another copy of it just in case.
If you're worried about your shit being stolen you're probably from somewhere in India.

No, you should use SSD like a sane person.

why would I a waste of USB port for that
just make a fucking partition
>>
>>107122723
Do you have only one computer? also there's the possibility of hardware failure locking you out of shit for days or even weeks unless you're actively prepping for it.

If that's your concern, use a PROPER backup solution.

compare prices of flash drives to hard drives dumbass
you're getting 4x the capacity for the same price

I checked, storage space on USB is only 50% more expensive per GB. Portability makes up for it and really even just one USB stick can store so, so much stuff so price isn't really the most essential thing here.

>>107122362
USB is slow and fails more.
>>107122801
no, i have more than one computer. if one fails i go to the backups or pull the fucking drive out and put it in the other computer?
this is homeless/poor logic.

>>107123468
what the fuck are you comparing this to?
there's an 18tb toshiba hdd for $300 on pcpartpicker, that's $16.66 per tb, hell, you can get a 24 tb one from seagate for that price if you're willing to trust them
>>
>>107123473
That's great, but it's not convenient if you're dealing with various types of hardware.
>>107123518
>what the fuck are you comparing this to?
SSD, I don't use HDD made after 2020 and again the vast majority of people don't need essentially infinite storage space. I'm talking about keeping things you actually need portable.
>>
>>107123557
why are you keeping less used big bulky shit on an ssd? hdds do fine for those and no one is shuffling a terabyte of data every day on their own pc

I get it, OP wants to be able to literally fill his ass with all the fap material he gathered. Yep USB thumbdrives fit such usecase.
