    This is one of the reasons why I prefer having a few smaller drives than one big one. Having a zillion terabytes of storage one one drive is great and all, but that’s a lot of stuff to potentially lose when something craps out. I’d sooner have a couple smaller ones so that if one hdd does shit the bed…err case? at least not everything’s gone.

      If you have a proper backup system in place that shouldn’t be a problem. Speaking of which I should do another round of backups…

      My only big drive is just for games. I have two internal 1t drives one hdd and one SSD for storage on my computer and four external 512g drives as backup to those. It’s not the best solution, and it’s kind of clunky but I’d rather have something than lose everything to a bad drive.
