Default Re: Opinions about recording drives

I don't think you can ever go wrong with the WD Blacks. Have you run WD's diagnostics on your current drive? With the prices of SSDs where they are now, I would think a 500GB SSD as a session drive would work, archiving completed sessions to a spare spinner. I operate under the assumption that every time I boot up any of my computers, the disk drive(s) will have failed and I will have to recover from backups. I back up my session files to an external drive, plus to my everyday computer over the home network. My OS drives get images made periodically, keeping the last 2-3 images stored.

Just 2 days ago I had to restore my ProTools computer's OS drive from an image after I tried updating my Digi002's drivers and it didn't work, and I was unable to revert to the previous drivers.
