If you forecast your hard drive (3.5) will continue to grow each year (probably 3-4 hard drive a year)
which one do you think is the best home storage solution?
I have been thinking about Either
Plan A
Getting a 3.5 hard drive docking and buy only internal hard drives, whenever a particular drive is needed, plug it into the docking. The unused drive is kept in a 3.5 drive shock protection box and archive it.
Problem: Frequent connections to the SATA port could possibly damage the ports and touching the hard drive directly with hand might also have static problems.
Or
Plan B
Buy only 3.5 external desktop hard drives that comes with case.
Problem: Size
What do you think? Or any third way?
