Tuttle, sorry but I am not able to reply to your private message as am being told my reply 'might contain forbidden characters' hence this reply here! A friend brought a different PC a couple of years ago with an almost new 2TB HDD that had an early life failure and lost everything! I have other working drives in some ancient PC's that are over 10 years old and showing no issues! I have been very lucky with my own drives but have dealt with enough drive failures to know that no drives are guaranteed to last forever! My son's PC was the most recent casualty where the internal 320GB HDD just died with no warning but fortunately nothing was lost. If you have the size of data that needs such large drives for backup, then I would still recommend going with multiple smaller drives rather than risk putting everything on one very large drive. Personally, I have been reluctant to consider any very large drives and currently my own largest drives are only 3TB and those are in a RAID configuration in my Synology NAS where a single drive failure is recoverable without loss of data. Jon, I don't remember reading many posts dealing with backup storage drive recommendations and such is always going to be very subjective.
