Should I consider ever replacing my ‘aging’ backup hard drives due to ‘old age’ ? or is there another way to prevent an unexpected disc error without ‘prematurely’ buying new hard drives. It is quite a few hundred dollars to replace 3 or 4 one to two TB drives….don’t want to do it more than is necessary.
BTW - my drives are not in RAID configuration right now. I’ve been backing up with file copies (I know - very unsophisticated, but this has been my ’legacy’ process - haven’t evolved to RAID yet : )
