    Okay, to all of you: I get it, more is better, same for me.

    But it’s still worth starting if you can only get your hands on two used drives to run in raid 1.

      Exactly. I’ve got a 4TB mirror setup for my pictures I reclaimed from Google Photos, and music, and other important stuff. It also backs up to iDrive which is really affordable. (Hopefully stays that way…)

      What sucks is I scored a deal on a pair of WD Red 4TBs to add, but one was defective (secondhand, and WDs RMA procedure is STRICT.) , so now I’m stuck with a half expansion I don’t know what to do with and it’s kinda not responsible for me to spend >100 bucks completing the mirror right now.

      My media collection isn’t on a mirror or backed up or anything because it’s naturally way larger than everything else, but I think for the stuff that truly matters, this will see us through.
