[QUOTE="Elliander, post: 8897477, member: 284035"] I had an interesting thought for getting an external drive to hold everything without as much risk to data: An external hard drive RAID enclosure. I found a few on Amazon, with the more expensive ones supporting RAID-5 and hot swapping like this: [URL]https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B005IOLBT2/ref=ox_sc_act_title_1?smid=A307CH216CTGMP&psc=1[/URL] Since I replaced all the 4 TB drives in my computer with 8 TB drives, I figure that I could use them all with something like that to create a single FAT32 16 TB drive that would have single parity, so if any one drive fails I can swap it out to rebuild without loss of use of the drive. It's a bit pricey to do it that way, but then again, a 16 TB hdd by itself runs for over $400 at present so if someone already had old 4 TB drives to use it would seem to be a cheaper solution than buying a new 16 TB drive and an enclosure. If someone didn't have the drives though, given that the cheapest 4 TB drives cost $65 and you'd need 5 of them this setup would cost like $150 more than the single drive approach, which honestly isn't that bad for the benefit of being able to replace dead drives in the future. In any case, since I already have the drives, I could also justify the cost by letting me use it for a bigger RAID drive later so it would have usefulness in 64 TB backup storage drive once the 16 TB drives come down enough in price to be worth it, then I could just use a regular 16 TB drive with the PS3 combined with proper backups maintained on RAID-5. I wonder if that would work though with the PS3 though. [/QUOTE]
