Maurice, agreed…always good to have backups. I don’t understand what you mean when you say ” does not matter how you rack them as long as you don’t rely on them”…who has hard drives that they don’t rely on?…and if they don’t rely on them (even a little), why do they have them?
Bob, thanks for the Hitachi recommendation, I was thinking about setting up a hot swap system and i think i will look into these drives. I’m still not sure why you have such a hatred for Lacie drives. Regardless of why you don’t like them, they haven’t failed me yet. And since “all drives fail” eventually, I’ll just buy more CHEAP lacie drives to back each other up…that way I can go buy beer with my extra money!! (not into the coke, weed thing) lol
and for anyone curious the drives have been working great mounted vertical 🙂
