I want to find an additional backup method for my photos. How can I get the full-resolution photos downloaded from iCloud and backed up to a physical ssd?

Yes, you can download photos from iCloud to an SSD. Here is how to download photos from iCloud to an SSD:

Step 1. Make sure you have iCloud Photo Library enabled on your device.

Step 2. Plug in the SSD drive you want to use to download the photos.

Step 3. Go to iCloud.com and sign in with your Apple ID.

Step 4. Click on the Photos app icon on the iCloud.com homepage.

Step 5. Select the photos or entire albums you want to download. And click the download button to save the downloaded photos to your SSD.
