Yes. One external hard drive is in a safe deposit box. Another external hard drive was stolen. A third external hard drive was corrupted. I cannot reformat it. I discarded it.
I keep a microSD card inside of a microSD card holder inside of a holster that I wear on the left side of my body 24/7.
MicroSD card holder:

A microSD memory card reader is in my holster. When I go to a library in the evenings to use the library computer, I am either knocked out or made very groggy unless I wear an U neck bottle filled with wet clay around my brainstem. Due to either being knocked out or made groggy, twice I left the microSD memory card reader in the library computer. I return the very next morning within minutes after the library opens. My memory card readers and SD cards are stolen. Not in lost and found. No longer in the computer.
I purchased a microSD card memory card reader that a lanyard could attach to.

I attached two lanyards together. The other end is attached to my backpack. Impossible to leave in the library computer. Last month, the microSD card and the memory card reader were stolen from my car. Several months earlier, just the microSD card was stolen from the memory card reader.
If I printed out some of the new files or newly revised older files, I can type the new text into back up files. However, the wireless printers at libraries are hacked. Since time is limited on library computers, I print, use up my computer time and then go to the printer to print. After realizing not all of my files printed, I cannot log back on the computer to reprint as I had used up my computer time. I have to make it a habit after printing not to log out. To promptly go to the printer, check that all files were printed and if not to return to the computer to reprint.
I schedule making a back up of my data files every two weeks but usually get around to do it every 4 to 6 weeks. Too many new files and updated older files are stolen.
Many of the hacked files and folders are read only. I cannot delete them or replace them with older files that were not hacked. This makes it difficult to copy the older files from an external hard drive or another micro SD card. I have to create a new folder name.
I'll cosign on the card formatting thing. I picked up this usb 3.0 compatible card reader and it's been very handy to have for transferring TWRP and Titanium Backups between my SD card and PC. The one downside is that this is a wide card, so it effectively blocks other USB ports. You'd have to pair it with a USB 3.0 extension cable if that is a concern of yours based on your USB port arrangement, or pick up a card reader like this one (which I can't comment on since I don't own, so YMMV).
An appropriately classed USB 3.0 drive out of a USB 3.0 port will feel the same as booting and operating from an SSD.
For perspective, I have linux running from an SD card using a USB 3.0 SD card adapter which in total cost me $20 and it boots in exactly the same amount of time as it does off of my SSD. It's also very portable. Some motherboards don't have legacy boot mode enabled--so you have to enable that before it will boot from a USB 3.0 port--but other than that it's been running perfectly for over a year.
