[QUOTE="Fred Kingston_RIP, post: 818125, member: 10742"] As we speak, I'm in the process of integrating a new Seagate 8T drive... As to your question regarding SSD speed. Yes, they're fast. Very fast, when directly connected to a very fast USB port... those speeds drop off considerably when daisy-chained out thru a hub,,, I chose a Seagate Ironwolf drive because they're used in data centers and have a better construction that typical consumer drives... They're designed to run continuously for long periods of time... A hard drive enclosure in <$30 and you can find them with any flavor of USB that you want. The next step up from there is a NAS with multiple drives that's accessible across the network and allows you to swap drives in an out and run different flavors of RAID. [/QUOTE]
