Our office LAN backup has just hit 3 TB
Our office LAN backup has just hit 3 TB (as the hard drives manufacturers rate TB). I freshly formatted the backup drive on the CRM
file server last Thursday. We have less than 1 TB left of free space on it after a full backup over the weekend (took 3 days to refill the back hard drive). I've been buying 6 TB external drives for over a year now. The three internal backup drives are all 4 TB. Looks like I will need to replace them in a year or so. I would prefer 8 TB over 6 TB though even though they are $100 more. 6 TB: https://www.amazon.com/Blue-Desktop-...dp/B013HNYVCE/ 8 TB: https://www.amazon.com/Red-8TB-Hard-...dp/B01BYLY4DM/ Lynn |

I am going to stay with WD drives for now. They are "good enough". Thanks, Lynn |

I went with the Seagate hoping it might be a Samsung now that Seagate had bought out the hard drive operation. |
