Jake Lowe Posted January 5, 2021 Share Posted January 5, 2021 (edited) Hello, I have one 1tb WD drive as paraity and another for data plus two segate 500G drives. Any suggestions as I have no money to upgrade? Some are old with 4-5 hour runtime and 2 are around 1 year. Thankyou Edited January 5, 2021 by Jake Lowe Quote Link to comment

Taking your thread title at face value, I recommend keeping a full up to date backup of your 1TB data drive on your 2 500GB drives, preferably disconnecting and storing them in a safe spot between backups.

kizer Posted January 6, 2021 Share Posted January 6, 2021 Your run times honestly are very low. I'm in the process of swapping out some Drives that are 10years old. Quote Link to comment
