Reviving this thread. Curious how are you all storing your photos in 2025? SSD, Cloud etc? Do you have primary and backup?
At home I use an NAS for storage and working space. It makes a backup every midnight to a local HDD
The backup is done to a Norwegian company Jottacloud, this just to make sure that fire og robbery won't get my images.
The Mac have an SSD and I also use a couple of SSD for expansion of the internal HD (SSD).

The NAS run in a RAID mode so one disk failure won't disrupt the storage, just plug in a new HDD, and I have used this a couple of times. Last time a second HDD failed during rebuild , then the external backup came into use.
