What to look forward in a drive for a selfhosted cloud?

Question/Advice

I want to build a server to store and actually own my files. Ill be using a thin client for this, therefore multiple drives may not be possible, raising concerns about having a single point of failure.

Naturally Im looking for a solid drive for this use case (personal cloud + backup) that at least gives me an extra edge against failures. I want to use an SSD since budget allows and I don't need this server to hold north of 1 or 2 TB.

Thanks in advance.

You should look forward to it working well. Or at least I would hope so lol

Proposing the use of a single drive to replace a cloud service, and then including backup on that same drive is one of the more ridiculous things I’ve heard today. At least put a usb drive on for backup.
