Well, just counted up eight 2 TB SSD's, two 1 TB, 2 960 gig, a 480 gig and a 500 gig.  A dozen?  That is what I will have room for internal mounting and SATA3 ports soon!  LOL!

Ah, but then there are the two external USB3 2 bay SATA drive docks.  4 more needed!  :D

Archives of all sorts?  Right now, two have various chunks of my Steam games installed to them.  Yes, I play the BIG games from the USB ports!  They do need to be on internal SATA port for speed though.  Hence, the push to reorganize all the SSD's!
I have also been mulling over buying one 4 TB SSD for just my games.  Consolidate all the game files, one drive only!

Okay, externals.  Photography is one.  POSER software only is another.   I bought a lot of that starting with Poser 6.  Then,  DAZ Studio software only is another.  ZBrush software only, ending with the day MAXON forced a hostile buy on Pixelolgic.  ALL those Free Updates sadly came to an end.  Sigh.  Recorded movies and TV shows, another.  Artwork!  And downloaded videos, another.  Mmm seldom used Runtimes?  Bunch of uses!

Kinda like I do LOLOLOL......I've got six externals hooked up at all times to the puter......Oppps....Only 5....I moved one 2TB over to the Laptop which doesn't get that much of a workout.

Got 2 2TB in the office where Lorna now works from home for Colony Brands

And I see no more in the future.  Plus I have 4 of the old style Externals plus a WD Cloud external (WD discontinued the cloud service so it's just a Backup External...4TB

I had to sit me down with a tall stack of 5 1/4 half height spinner HD's and figure out  which could still be trusted to use as some sort of backup drive.  The USB3 External SATA drive docks were built with those in mind first.  Which ALSO handle the 2.5" SSD's too.  So, I sadly filed 7 of the old spinners in DOA and file 13'd em.  Sigh.  So much money gone, poof, just like that.  Even the very highest quality one of them, a WD BLACK "Caviar" 640 gig drive died at 5 years and 3 months.  Out of warranty.  Flat out DEAD.  No response.  Gone. File 13.
I have had SSD's in continuous operation now  for 8 years!   Still usable.  Still have 95% of rated life left.  I have been kinda testing other of the SSD's for offline non-powered storage.  So far so good!   They pick up again right where they were unplugged.   Very satisfying to learn.   Life remaining?  99-100%  :o)

My main point being, the spinners (ones with moving parts) ALWAYS will crap out at 3 to 6 years.  Never had even one spinner last longer that was plugged into power.   So, for me now, I buy SSD only.   At this point, nothing out there makes better sense!
