I'm a redundancy addict. I save all my files to my USB. I have all my programs on my USB. I basically use my USB port as a primary file drive, and my hard drive as my bootup disk. I also have everything on my hard drive in a sub-directory. I also have it in the cloud. I also have several programs and files replicated on my tablet, laptop, and cell phone. The files on those I update occasionally - maybe a couple times every year. But they're all up to date on my USB and the cloud, and my hard drive.
Plus I have everything backed up to a different cloud server, AND in another partition on my hard drive.
With or without power, with or without internet, I can read a book, watch a movie, access all of my files, including a cookbook that I'm writing, so I can still make all my recipes even if my computer breaks.
I'd add an SSD drive to all of this, but I think that's a bit over the top
