I've recently purchased a 5 bay DAS (https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0CZL8KPLG) for some offline storage of old junk data, photos, and video footage. I currently have an old 8tb and 2tb drive, as well as 2x 4tb external drives to shuck.
I'd like to get 1 large (18-22tb) new drive for primary storage, and use all the old ones combined as 1 backup. (I'm hoping I can do this with the software "AnyBackup"). The important photos are also in the cloud, and in the future I'll probably get something like BackBlaze.
When I start to fill up the new drive, I can replace the smaller drives as needed.
I've been looking at drive prices for a while and would like to get something with a 5 year warranty from a long time seller.
The DAS I have says it's limited to 22TB, I don't know if that's accurate or not.
I decided to spend a little more $/TB to avoid MDD drives.
I've settled on this drive: https://www.ebay.com/itm/167551337467 and would like your opinion on if it's an adequate match for my setup.
Thanks!
