re: Questions about Longer-Term Storage (drives)

Thanks to you both. I've always assumed it would be a PITA to use a cloud service for that much personal data, but I guess it's really not anymore. I just uploaded about 100gb to OneDrive and it didn't take as long as I thought.
So maybe HDD+cloud+possible optical copy would be a solid (if not enterprise-level/foolproof) way to go? Seems like 1 physical+1 cloud backup for my old photos is fairly decent, especially if I periodically upgrade my archive drives as time/tech advances.
For current year stuff I'll likely keep doing what I'm doing (SSD+HDD) and periodically do a cloud backup too, so there should be an extra redundant backup for that stuff.
Related (probably dumb) question - am I putting my plan at risk by having both of my "current" drives (SSD and HDD) connected to my desktop at all times? As in - what's the likelihood of a problem impairing both drives (and potentially wiping out main storage+backup)?

i have about 100 hours of video that i'm going to upload to google photos in the next few days when it arrives so i'll let you know the total size and how long it took to push to the cloud.
good timing w/ the comcast data cap bullshite turned off for the moment. its been nice grabbing entire collections of movies (james bond) and tv series without killing my data cap on a single download.
the james bond collection was 1TB so one click and i would have killed my data for the entire month.
