I’ve been charging my phones exclusively wirelessly (not counting plugging in cars or emergencies) for about 15 years. From Lumia, to OnePlus to Pixel now. Zero issues.
Even iphones finally invented wireless charging a few years ago and it works very well.
I realize it’s not as efficient, but I charge overnight and we’re probably talking about $10/year in losses.
Hard drives aren’t great for archival in general, but any modern drive should work. Grab multiple brands and make at least two copies. Look for sales. Externals regularly go below $15/tb these days.
