I loved Samsung OEM drives. They unfortunately are gone. I’m not quite ready to adopt Seagate. I had issues back in the day.

We are in agreement about offline. I only do AWS for configuration files, and database backups….so only 1-2GB a month, which is manageable.

It is again, the video I want to have redundancy on, but not in a RAID. Since the second drive is in the system, I can just put it into operation by changing the mountpoints, and go back to business, same as a RAID, which is fine for my use.

It is always function that dictates these things.
