I am contemplating which media to use for backing up data daily:<br />
<br />
1. Internal Hard Disk<br />
2. External Hard Disk<br />
<br />
Which of these two is more reliable? Do external disks have higher chances of failures?<br />
<br />
I am looking around 100 GB of data to be backed up regularly.<br />

Any thoughts or comments welcome

Preferred media for backup

Computer data storage, often called storage or memory, is a technology consisting of computer components and recording media used to retain digital data. In addition to local storage devices like CD and DVD readers, hard drives and flash drives, solid state drives can hold enormous amounts of data in a very small device. Cloud services and other new forms of remote storage also add to the capacity of devices and their ability to access more data without building additional data storage into a device.
