No, I'm saying $50 is still relatively quite a bit of money. I could 
use it to buy one of the needed replacement boot struts for my car, for 
example.


Personally I already have multiple backup drives. One is used by Carbon 
Copy Cloner to backup the entire internal drive, another old smaller 
capacity one syncs certain folders when I can be bother plugging it in, 
plus a couple of USB keyring drives to also sync certain folders. But 
none of those drives were bought simply to test a new version of the 
macOS. They were bought for other necessary reasons.
