Well ... the spinning/mechanical disks are becoming something like the tape drives from 15y ago. Few years ago I updated all the drives (some were 10+y old) and I use mechanical in RAID only for the movies and documents. The rest is on SSD. Both types are WD Model Family: WD Blue / Red / Green SSDs Model Family: Western Digital Red Device Model: WDC WD20EFRX-68AX9N0 (old drives being decommissioned) Device Model: WDC WD20EFRX-68EUZN0 (old drives being decommissioned) Device Model: WDC WD60EFPX-68C5ZN0 (since last y. replacing 3x2TB above) Device Model: WDC WDS100T1R0A-68A4W0 (SSD 1TB) Device Model: WDC WDS200T1R0A-68A4W0 (SSD 2TB) AFAIR EFRX is CRM, but could be I am wrong. ____________________________________________________ tde-users mailing list -- users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe send an email to users-leave@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Web mail archive available at https://mail.trinitydesktop.org/mailman3/hyperkitty/list/users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
