A load of p*%n on those to be fair....

Hehe.

i remember when 1.3 GB was OMG for a hard drive, and barely something a mere mortal was able to pay for.
The first 1TB drives don't ring any bells for me, probably due to me surpassing that with ease on several XXX GB drives.

I think when my project are completed i will toss in another spinning disk, probably something like 8 - 10 TB.
BUT ! first i must get a 1TB NVME for my C: the current 500 GB are beginning to put mental restrictions on the big arm movements i so like.

these days I'd hope it would at least be in an array with redundancy to be fair...

One drive (two for redundancy) for all my backups, sounds good to me.
