Found WD recertified MyBook drives at €200/14tb, so €14.28/tb and I bought two for backup, working towards a proper 3-2-1
Agreed! The choice however at the time was have a single point of failure, or don’t save the data and give up entirely. Did the best I could!
I have a 14tb MyBook that is displaying worrying signs, and after contacting WD they are willing to RMA the drive, but I'd need to send it to them. I have 7-8tb of vital info on that drive that I need to get off it soon, was about to buy another 14tb drive to use as a backup but I don't have the money free atm.
Anyone know what the cheapest 14-16TB drives are atm? Or have other advice on what to do in my situation? I could get an elements 14tb for about €250, can't seem to find any recertified/reconditioned. Benefit of that is that once my MyBook is RMA'd I'd be able to use that as a permanent backup then.
My location is Ireland, and I'd love to buy the fucker ASAP because I fear this 8-ish month old MyBook is about to fail.
