I would suggest buying a couple drives from different makers too, not multiple of the exact same drive. If there is a defective run you might end up with 2 of them.
My setup right now is my working drive is backed up to an inexpensive seagate external using time machine on the mac. And the third backup is done manually to a western digital external drive at the start ant end of each job.
Storage keeps getting cheaper so you can hang on to everything.
I remember when my computer didn't even have a hard drive and we loaded the OS from a floppy disk every time you started the computer. My first drive was 250mb and it cost a small fortune.
