What if you buy two, use one for a complete backup and the other for
incrementals or differentials? (I know, more than $200...)
My disastrous experience with the last pair of seagates preclude
exploring that path, ever again. I bought a couple 2T's to replace 2
1T's I had outgrown and had close to 70,000 spining hours on the. They
lasted a bit less than 30 days, dropping off the sata cables connecting
then, never to be found again. Then I find they were shingled tech, and
helium filled so the heads flew lower.
