I get asked quite often what chargers, hard drives, etc to buy, so I wanted to compile a list here with Amazon links!

Security System
Abode Home Security System. There are no contracts, it’s fully self-install (however feel free to contact me to do it for you), and for $20/mo you get professional monitoring in case of emergencies, and a cellular and battery backup in case your internet or power goes out.. This can be connected to other smart home devices as well!
External Hard Drives

I love these Samsung T7 Shield drives (available in different size capacities).

BONUS: These cases fit them perfectly for just a few dollars, and have matching colors!
Online Computer Backup Service
Backblaze. This is $100/yr and handles a full computer back-up for you. Personally, I use this IN ADDITION to Google Drive/OneDrive, since those only backup specific folders, this backs up my entire computer.
Computer Peripheral/Hubs
With nearly all new computers now offering USB-C ports, and less ports for other things (like HDMI) I’ve been asked this question quite a bit. The hub I’m currently using is this Anker 8-in-1 hub with 100W Power Delivery pass-through. This means it ONLY uses 1 port on your computer to provide multiple USB-C ports, ethernet, HDMI, USB-A (older style USB), SD card reader, etc.
