Hey Everyone,

 

I am looking to upgrade my Hard drives & PCI-E cards as well as getting a docking station. I would love to get your input on these items that I will be considering on purchasing. I had a corruption or not accessible problem on my current ones and even though they are still good I am getting new ones so I can have redundant backups and image backups.

 

I also would like to get your thoughts on what type of drives you use for backups and image backups.

 

Here is my thread with my problem if you would like to check it out or if there is something you would like to add to that thread as well...http://www.geekstogo...-2#entry2583756

 

Thank you for any input you can give. I will be appreciative. Also, HAPPY THANKSGIVING to you all!!!!!

I will pick another brand that's price is cheap because for backups I heard you don't need the best drive. So I might by one that is in the $40 range.

 

Or any other recommendations you might have.

Stay away from Seagate drives.  Their quality has gone down hill and they just don't last.  I prefer Western Digital Blacks.  They seem to last longer.

Hello RKinner and thank you so much for your response, help and assistance. Your input has been noted. So far I haven't bought anything yet. Thank you!
