Once you get used to the snappy response times and speedier gameload times of an SSD, going back to a hard drive feels like computing through a thick layer of molasses." Lynn If you were buying a 'large' drive now, what would you buy? SMR seems like something to be avoided, so if I want a drive in the 8-10-12+ range, what's available? Not just asking Lynn, anyone can chime in. I buy 8 TB WD externals for backups drives for our LAN. We have three spinning and seven externals. I replace one external drive every six months and archive the old one. It may be time to jump to the 10 TB, our LAN backup is now 4 TB. https://www.amazon.com/Book-Desktop-...dp/B01LQQHLGC/ Lynn
