Hi photogokla, and welcome to TSG.

If you consider your photo files as highly valuable and irreplaceable you should be considering some kind of cloud or offsite backup. It does little good to keep the primary and backup drives in the same place if they can both be lost due to burglary, fire, or some natural disaster such as a flood or earthquake.
