Hi Lemmy!

My partner and I are moving from the US to the EU soon. We both have gaming PCs but they’re a bit older, so we’re thinking it’s a great time to sell them, taking the SSDs, and buying new components there to avoid shipping them.

Any suggestions surrounding it? Maybe there’s a good way to pay a little and backup the whole SSDs to the cloud?

I know it’s not strictly gaming related but it sorta is? Sorry if this is inappropriate for the community

    If the SSDs aren’t ancient and there’s something useful in them – sure. Steam already backs up save files – so it depends what you have on them to require redundancy on backing up somewhere.

      They’re not super old, we’ve got some pics and such we like obviously. Maybe ~100 gigs total of “important files” but it sounds nice to have “my computer” back when I arrive?

        If it’s around 100 gigs you can get the cheapest tier of Google Drive (200gb for about 3 bucks I think) for a few months.

          Or just bring your ssd and don’t pay to use someone else’s computer

          Aka stop feeding them stuff already .

            Well as an insurance for the SSD breaking it’s an option. Just trying to help.
