I've just had my second Seagate Barracuda die in a couple of years, losing all my recordings (again). I saw a couple of errors then it refused to mount. I've tried every disk utility I can to recover content, but it looks like everything is gone. I'm going to give up on Seagate
I've ordered a WD Purple 4TB drive as this appears to have better reliability for constant use with video systems and when operating under higher temperatures. I plan to install it as the internal SATA drive and until it arrives, I'm using a 4TB USB external drive.
Just in case the new SATA dies, I'm thinking of using the internal SATA as my primary recording location but backing all the content up to the external USB drive.
I'd like the backup drive to stay in sync with the internal drive, so all recordings I add or delete (or which get moved around by utilities like the series manager) get reflected on the backup drive.
Can anyone give me guidance on the best way to do this? I suspect I'll need to write a linux script/use a linux utility of some kind as the OBH backups appear to be limited to settings, but would appreciate the wisdom of this community to recommend an approach I should take
