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

    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.
