Call it superstition on my part, but for other than a couple of 2TB drives used for backup (i.e. powered and run only occasionally), my working drives are mostly 500GB-1TB SATA models. It's probably foolish and irrational, but I somehow just don't trust the bargain-basement 4TB drives to perform long-term. Am I being silly? --Chuck
