I have a small external backup drive where I dump my phone camera captures and archive YouTube channels - nothing special; a few terabytes, mostly mp4s.
Is there anything I need to do before/after I swap?
If it matters, the drive is 9TB, formatted as NTFS, and connected via USB 3.0.
I also have 4 internal drives, but I’m not so much worried about them, as I plan on just formatting everything but the external.
Yeah, almost two years ago, I bought a 10 tb drive to back up my 15 tb array that I’d built with 3 tb drives in ~2018. That new drive was under $200 then.
