Sa dalawa, external HDD. Madaling mag-fail kasi ang mga DVD vs sa failure ng HDD. Mas mura ang DVDs, pero mas mataas ang failure rate.

For backups, I'd go for HDD vs SSD. SSD's advantage is its speed. SSD is good for OS and applications.

I agree, for backups better to get an HDD than SSD. but if you're going to use the drive as your system/OS drive SSD is the better choice faster booting time and also the apps loads much faster.

plus SSD is more expensive than HDD, so far i'm happy with HDD (external with USB 3.0) as backup.
