Let me explain.

Backing up and retrieving from my NAS is not a problem, but, periodically,
I back up my NAS to an NTFS format portable drive, via my PC. It is those
backups when the RISCOS file types get screwed.

What I intend to do is to get a 256G SSD or HDD, formatted to RISCOS
format and back up to that, avoiding windows getting involved at all. So,
the question is SSD or spinning rust, which is better for long time
storage, bearing in mind a S.R. drive would require more power, hence an
additional external PSU, whereas an SSD would probably be Ok on the USB3
port of my Ra-Pi. Yes I'm aware RISCOS cannot make use of USB3 speed, but
the port is capable of supplying higher power than the USB2 of my ARMX6.
