Me after initial compile of new software I’d written:
Wow. There are fewer errors than I expected!
@feloneouscat Just last week I was trying to rescue a flaky partition -- 4TB of tennis games.... not sure that the new message brought any more relief though... lol
One word: backup.
I have a 5 TB drive (and a git server) for my development. Also, hard drives do not last more than 2-3 years at best.
@feloneouscat Not enough resources to back up a 6TB drive.. lol and yes this drive has been going about 5 years now. The other 6TB internal is also pretty full...
I do have all other data, esp DTP data backed up, but that many tennis games....no
Yikes!
I’m looking into replacing my three 2 TB SD drives (and 5 TB hard drive backup) with four 4 TB SD drives (two drives for original and two for backup of the original).
It’s a chunk of change but it would REALLY be nice to not have the whine of a hard drive.
That happens next year after 4 TB drops below $200.

@feloneouscat @Pat_Walrond Getting close Newegg has both Samsung and Crucial 4tb's for $209. I just added a 2tb to this box I got for $63. I window shopped for a while before I found that deal.
I prefer Samsung. And yeah, they are close. Just not close enough. I’m hoping after the New Year there will be sales.
I’m hoping.
