Chip asked "why mechanical" I'm an ssd fanatic, and have insisted on every new machine having an SSD for years, so I was leery about doing this. It seems from the literature that mechanical drives actually have a higher expected lifespan than SSD's. The other reason is because if a mechanical drive fails, you have a higher probability of recovery than you do with an SSD, because you can clean-room the drive. As someone who got frequent flyer miles from driveSavers, I appreciate that I never sent them a drive that they didn't recover. I'm still leery of this setup, though. I don't like it, and I'm concerned that maybe the literature is incorrect. How can mechanical drives possibly be more reliable than SSD's? As a resul of this thread, we just added another drive to this new 4D setup, so for now: OS, applications (C:) (SSD) Structure, Data (D:) (Mechanical) backups and logs (F:) Further, we have an external backup server. I'm a gigantic proponent of cloud backups, as well, via whatever service.
