TheSteven Posted May 28, 2022 Share Posted May 28, 2022 I'd only get this drive if I could afford 2 (so that I could mirror them in a RAID). Putting all your eggs in one basket is a recipe for disaster. Been bit before. But if I could afford to do that - 18TB would be nice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I could archive a lot of stuff. and maybe not be so lazy with drive imaging. I do believe WD has their own WUP when the warranty runs out. Plus I like their RMA service.
