Decided and went and bought 3 WD RED 3TB drives. Now I need to figure out how to link all of these to prevent data corruption and best speed. Will have:
3 1.5TB Seagate
3 3TB WD RED
1 1TB Hitachi
Any ideas on what is the best setup?
EDIT: I purchased 3 Western Digital RED 3 TB drives and have another 3 1.5 TB Seagate drives I will replace them with.
In your opinions whats the best way of setting this up? Should I attach 6 drives to the system to "ALWAYS BE ON" I rarely shut off my computer, or would it be better to keep the 3 TB Drives set them up in a Raid setup and then every now and then attach the 3 1.5 TB to backup the important files.
Would love your input.
I noticed that Seagate changed their warranty to 1 yr and Newegg seems to only show the drive failing.
I am looking to replace my 4 1 - 1.5TB drives with 1 large drive and I am considering getting two so that I can mirror them as backups. Then I want to get a 256 or 512GB SSD. Anyone have experience with the Seagate or the WD 4TB Black? I am apprehensive of going the black as it seems to cost 4x the price of the 3TB...
Thoughts?
