For a quantity surveying student, a surveillance hard drive is often overkill for routine file backup, unless it also serves an NVR or shared storage role. SkyHawk 1TB sits around R1,251 and 2TB around R1,340, while IronWolf can suit NAS usage.
The Hiksemi Pocket 1TB SSD at R900 gives a quantity surveying student portable project storage for drawings, site images and reports without the bulk of a surveillance drive. A Seagate SkyHawk targets continuous NVR recording and adds no benefit to ordinary coursework.
The Hiksemi Pocket 512GB SSD at R600 suits a smaller course archive and daily transfers. Encrypt client or site information before travel.
A LaCie Rugged 2TB USB-C drive at R1,920 offers a verified portable enclosure for field-heavy work. Keep another copy away from the site bag.
The WD Blue SN5000 1TB NVMe SSD at R998 can give a compatible laptop faster internal project storage. Confirm the available M.2 slot.
Copy survey data before leaving site, compare file counts and keep dated folders by project. Protect sensitive drawings under university and client rules.
Portable solid-state storage also resists movement better while files copy in a vehicle.

A single external drive is usually better for quantity surveying coursework unless drawings and records are part of a shared storage setup.
Capacity matters for project files, but backup discipline is more useful than surveillance-grade continuous recording behaviour.
Choose SkyHawk 1TB around R1,251 or 2TB around R1,340 only where NVR-style storage is part of the setup.
No, quantity surveying files need an additional copy beyond the drive used for day-to-day storage.
Avoid treating a surveillance hard drive as a magic safety net for all coursework and project files.
An external drive is enough when one student backs up files manually and does not need shared access.
