Hi everyone! First of all, thank you in advance for your responses!
I am an editor and i’m following several projects.
My workflow consists in doing a copy on a 4Tb Wd 2.5” HDD, as backup, and another on a SanDisk SSD which is the drive i’ll have plugged in to work on.
This is my idea:
I was thinking on buying a 2-Bay DAS (Terramaster D2-320) and use it in RAID-1 mode.
In the Bay 1 i’d mount a good 12Tb HDD and in the Bay 2, i’d mount a cheaper 12Tb HDD for a mirror backup.
My idea is that when i eventually fill up the disks, i’ll remove the cheap copy and store it to keep a copy. (Considering it’ll be full of delivered and finished projects that i’d keep just for safety or portfolio reasons)
Then i’ll erase the good 12Tb and mount a new cheap 12Tb as his backup.
My question is:
Which HDD are best suited for this idea?
I’ve heard that some Seagates are not so reliable…
And, considering that i’m working on a budget 😅, could it be a good solution? Do you have a better option?
Thank you again!
