Title: Do you have an External hard drive? Post by: siennamar on June 26, 2013, 12:55:12 PM I have this 4TB dual enclosure. It supports RAID0, RAID1 (disk mirror), Normal (shows two disks) and JBOD (combines the two disks).

Title: Re: Do you have an External hard drive? Post by: BitPappa on June 26, 2013, 01:07:06 PM Yes, many, mostly for backups. I also use bare drives as externals, with one of those handy docks you can plug than into.
Why? Title: Re: Do you have an External hard drive? Post by: AliceWonder on June 26, 2013, 03:00:15 PM Several.

3TB external mostly for media/large applications/backups 500GB external for transferring large files. However I really want another large external as a secondary backup because I'm pretty paranoid about losing all my data. Title: Re: Do you have an External hard drive?

I do not have internal HDDs in any of my systems, just SSDs. and my main desktop PCs/workstations boot from PCIe SSDs for better performance. USB3.0 really made larger external HDDs practical. Not a lot of machines have multiple eSATA ports and USB2 is just too slow. It used to take days to copy a multi-terabyte HDD through USB2. With USB3 it takes hours. Title: Re: Do you have an External hard drive? Post by: Welsh on June 29, 2013, 06:07:01 PM I have so many external hard drives I couldn't possibly list them all. Most of them are backups of our business. They normally range from 1tb-4tb. I believe I have smaller ones which haven't been filled up yet but they are more for temporary files.
