   Take an SSD with you. Much easier to hide away in your baggage or on   
   your person.   
   Bear in mind that burglars these days are not interested in   
   electronics, they'll look for jewellery, and if your house is   
   destroyed by fire or hurricane you'll have more to worry about than   
   your data.   
   (You could always set up a Microsoft 365 account, if you don't have   
   one already, and store your data on the 1Tb Onedrive storage that   
   comes with it.)
