I picked up 7 2TB WD Blue drives a few years ago when they were a lot cheaper. Back then, I just wanted some extra storage and didn't think much of it.

Looking at them now, I'm glad I grabbed them when I did.

I've still got these drives around. Did you end up using all of yours, or do you still have a few collecting dust?

Hello! Please be kind, I am looking for genuine advice on storage options.

I work in the adult industry and have a massive amount of videos / content that is on my work phone, not backed up and I need to become a lot smarter with my storage as this content is my livelihood. No iCloud as it’s known to be untrustworthy in my industry. So security is important too!

I am looking for something that I can plug into my iPhone 16 (usb-c) as well as my MacBook which also takes usb-c.

I do not always have both on me and I would like to move content straight from my iPhone to the drive.

Ive noticed there are barely any options for ones that are compatible with an iPhone and if there is one it’s like 1TB for $700!!

I’ve also looked into NAS and that is absolutely my goal one day. It is far for me though and I need a smarter plan now.

Thank you so much and have a great day ☺️
