My PC has a 1 x 1TB NVMe SSD for OS/user profile/application data, 2 x 2.5 1TB HDDs for old photos and miscellany and 6 x 2.5 SATA 480GB-512GB SSDs for photos installed internal to my PC.

Thankfully, storage drives and backup software have become a lot more reliable over the years. No fans, excellent cooling.īackup is necessary but often fraught with errors in setup, settings, and erroneous assumptions. The Oyen's are a nice solution if dust becomes an issue. Dust with a docking station has been mentioned. Had a couple at our former summer home and have a couple in the USA. Picking up on some other comments: I've had several of the Oyen mini Pro's. I don’t need to be on the bleeding edge when it comes to data storage. Old ones get assigned to clones as part of my backup routine.
I accept slow backups for low heat, low noise and portability (bus powered). They can be dreadfully slow with incremental backups. The flip side is the 3.5” will be quicker as, to my knowledge, all 2.5” spinners, 3 TB and over, will be PMR drives. If the 3.5” does not bother you from a noise and heat POV, you already have it, use it. I believe Backblaze' experience supports mine. Other than those 4 copies of one drive, my 2.5's have been more reliable than my 3.5” experience. They were early PMR drives and Seagate tried to dance around the issue, then “refurbed” them and stuck them in backup enclosures, those died as well but, being Seagate, the drives somehow ended up on various sites at unbeatable prices. I did have 2 Seagate 4TB versions bite the dust almost immediately. Doesn’t bother me as I use them for either media streaming or backups.
