SSD backup question

My son passed a "Crucial CT512mx100SSD1" to me when he went bigger.

Can I use this as a backup by attaching, backing up a few things, then removing?

My drives are: C 186 free of 237 / D 734 free of 931 / 391 free of 465

Great. Thank you. I was just talking to my grandson about a caddy.

You sure can. Just get one of those external USB enclosures for $10. If you can swing USB 3.2, you will enjoy the higher speeds for larger files.

I think you have to do this because if the SSD increases in size, it means that soon it will already be faulty. And that's why you need to make periodic backups of data in the cloud to be sure that if something happens to your SSD, you will have all the data you have on it in the cloud. By the way, I haven't done this before, and at one point, I paid for it, and I had to repair my SSD for a very long and expensive time. It's good that I came across competent and intelligent specialists in data recovery from SSD -- salvagedata.com. I don't know what I would do without them.

I use a Samsung SSD, so I use their proprietary backup utility. For me, this is the optimal solution, I don't know how things are with other manufacturers. If you had problems before the backup, you can use partition recovery free. By the way, standard Windows tools also offer the possibility to implement a backup.

From my own experience, I can say that backing up data is very important. I can also advise you to monitor the current state of SSD and CDD. For example, I was in the following situation: I quickly discovered that the SSD was dying. Therefore, I chose a new mSATA SSD and transferred all the data from the old drive in advance.
