WD HDD Industry Will Be Supply Constrained Due to Thailand Flooding
AnimeJanai:
Meanwhile, because my backup drive is not spinning and whipping its heads back and forth, it has greater longevity than if it were part of a raid set churning its life away.
I'm content with that type of backup system. It's efficient enough for me to save my important files using file synchronization. I have no need to use raid which saves all the files including those I don't need to save. I use less power and less material so that is good from a conservative standpoint. Backup is done when I have the time so it occurs at my convenience. I certainly wouldn't get raid due to being emotionally pissy about the annoyance of manually picking which files to backup.
The backup drive has partitions for each member of the family. That reduces the chance someone would do something to the backup drive that mangles things up. Every member of the family also has a separate 8GB thumb drive as temporary backup of files on a daily basis. The backup hard drive is for those more "permanent" formal backup occasions. With this approach, nothing bad has happened and the costs of implementation are low as is the costs of operation. This method works for us and requires not much effort or cost.

i got 4 of them, and i dunno which SCSI connectors it uses, which era its from and what it's rated speed.

You can still find out that it is 10kRPM, 146GB, FC drive.
