Somewhere out in the vast darkness of cyberspace, millions and millions of precious photographs are wandering aimlessly, homeless and lost forever. Each day, more and more photos join the tens of thousands of socks that were lost in clothes dryers, umbrellas left in restaurants and the car keys that never made it back to the safety of a purse or pocket.

Not to mention the zillions of smiling golf balls banished forever somewhere in rough.

Your data is not safe, but good work habits, starting with a conscientious backup plan, can make data recoverable.

Fast, super high-capacity SSD (Solid State Drive) storage devices have become essential tools for content creators, videographers and studio photographers. Storage drives that are immensely portable and durable, like the 8TB* Sandisk Extreme® Portable SSD, provide the ideal platform to store, back up and help preserve precious data while on location in the field, in the studio and at the workstation.
