[QUOTE="Cortex, post: 792143, member: 54432"] I have a 4TB spinner & a SSD in this PC. I also have 4 external drives one of which resides at my sons house & he also rotates his with me. Most of the data such as video & two thousand+ FLAC albums & many thousand MP3 files don't change unless I add to them. It's only Docs etc./Software/Images that change which I do daily on a drive easily connected to this PC, (Images maybe weekly unless I make a major change) takes minutes the rest are done weekly but on different days. I have another drive I acquired with my music & photographs on that don't really get touched. If a drive starts to fail I replace it with a larger one. For me I see little point in cloud backup at this point. I've been using this system for many years & never let me down. I didn't buy the drives at once just when smaller (in the beginning tiny) drives gave up the ghost or it became to small to be usable. Most things in life are replaceable apart from people, keepsakes photographs & data (cats) - I imagine most won't agree with my system :) [/QUOTE]
