I'm thinking it's time for a 4TB Samsung 870EVO Sata-III SSD to backup all my routine stuff! ($300 at Amazon or Newegg.)
My machines all use NVMe PCI-e boot drives now, but I back them up to internal traditional 2TB spinners. But I'm thinking I'll use one tower machine like it's a NAS and put the single 4TB in it and then point all the backup jobs to it across my 1Gb ethernet network.
I like the speed, but my top priority is to reduce power consumption. I have one machine that's "ON" nearly all the time. By making that my NAS I can remove old power hungry 2TB spinners from all my other toy machines.
So that's what's top on my list for BF deals.
