LOL - I meant to say I am going down to just 2 copies of the archive! Not 8!

Just to follow up on this - I bought two Seagate 4TB drives yesterday
and am in the process of transferring files. I am going to drop down
to just two 8 copies of the archive, each capable of holding 8 TB.
Since I presently have only about 4.8 TB that leaves plenty of room
for expansion. I may keep an additional copy of favorite files on one
of the spare drives.
My PC is only USB 2 compatible - I probably should get a USB 3.0 card
for it. The transfer of my current library will proabbly take about 5
days! I started xxcopy from a command prompt yesterday and have about
1.5 TB xfered so far this afternoon. USB 2.0 is not a problem when
archiving daily shooting of a few gigs or so, but for this kind of
transfer it is slow...
My recent spate of shooting 6x7 film expedited the need to upgrade -
the files are ~570 megs each. I archive the original scans and save
any edits in separate files - it quickly eats up storage space.
Thanks to everyone who offered advice and suggestions.
