Printer and a Portable Hard Disk

[Sushubh]

A niece needs it. I have decided on these two listings:

About the printer... It is going to be used to take colored printouts of illustrations and other creative mumbo jumbo. She is into textile designing I think.
Portable hard disk is just to take backups.

Seagate Backup Plus Slim 1TB Portable External Hard Drive
HP Deskjet Ink Advantage 2645 All-in-One Printer

I have selected the Amazon listing coz the price on it for some strange reason is pretty low compared to other stores.
I have selected the Flipkart listing coz it is a deal of the day. I am tempted to suggest a wireless model but it costs a bit more and the printer is likely to be used in a house where let's say... most people end up using a dongle because the actual wired connection rarely works.

Any suggestions?

Turns out she needs 8TB storage minimum. I am running out of ideas now.

Multiple HDDs won't cut it?

 

[Sushubh]

more chances of losing the data. dropping the disks. and things like that. plus the data is scattered around. hard to keep track of individual files and stuff like that.

i have suggested Netgear RN104 do not want to be part of the process because it goes beyond my technical expertise.

NAS for this.

 

[Sushubh]

I hope cousin agrees. I really would like to set up a NAS

not portable but 8TB drives are out.no idea when will they be available in india though..
Seagate’s first shingled hard drives now shipping: 8TB for just $260 | ExtremeTech

I do not think using a single 8TB HDD is a solution here. You need to have a RAID setup so that there is data redundancy. It would be a shame to lose important data after spending 50K on data storage

NAS looks like only option.

yup. waiting for my next visit to panipat so i can actually see if there is a need for such storage.
