[H] 16GB Seagate External USB 3.2 drive

[_ Winterlight]

I am considering buying a 16GB Seagate External USB 3.2 drive for a backup 
everything drive. This wouldn't be for critical important data which I back up 
encrypted on a online google drive. But media takes up lots of bytes and I 
never want to have to get a bigger drive.

How durable or Seagate drives these days...can I trust it with 16GB of data?

16gb is very small these days. I would look for at least 1tb.

If you're talking terabyte then yes. I have a 16TB Seagate drive in single
bay NAS that has been running good for the past couple years. I have an 8
bay synology for my large storage but only power that one on occasionally
to back stuff up or copy stuff
