@madeindex as it is the 8TB HDDs I'm getting are quite high in price. SSDs would be much more I'd guess. Also the case is fit for more HDDs. Up to 18. People who buy HDDs that are say 22TB are crazy I think. Better to have redundant storage. I guess some might put those in a raid but that's really expensive. Maybe they have the money and that's fine but I'd rather not risk data: even with dual backups. Only recently I added the second backup disk. With the new server actually.
@madeindex the #MacBookPro #M4Max has an external (USB-C) HDD for backup. The #M1Max is bricked thanks to #Apple releasing their crapware #macOS ( #macOS26) knowing full well that in beta they were bricking devices. But once I get that repaired (DFU failed here) if Apple's so-called 'geniuses' can fix it it's still not worth an extra backup as it was used to set up the M4 Max. The M1 Max needs the keyboard replaced too. Thank goodness I got the M4 Max earlier this year!
