Solution to single Hard Drive hopelessness (Part 3) | | Part 3: You can have any number of hard drives with this system and you never need to throw away old ones. I think of CDRWs and CDRs as absolute trash, they cannot be relied on to safely store data. Ideally should have one hard drive containing your important data, stored somewhere where it would survive a house fire or theft. Computer noise is increased by the integral fans in the bays, also these fans have a shorter life than say your processor cooling fan as they don't have ballbearings. They will eventually become very noisy as the bearings wear but replacement of the bays is very cheap. |
