HD is the best storage device (even before CD/DVD), because even if it breaks down, you still have a good chance that data can be retrieved by a specialist, if it is vital for you. USB sticks tend to break the moment when you can need it the last. SSD in principle are big, faster USB sticks. I mean, flash ROM is quite vulnerable. I do not really trust it.

If you do not desperately depend on fast speed, a HD with solid USB 3.0 connection.

And backup copies on a secondary, depending on your data value: tertiary device, DVD, stick.

When it comes to just editing texts and photos, speed is no argument, the data files are simply to small. Even a rewritable CD then will do.
