Lucky me, I recently acquired two 4TB hard drives, and I'm making a point to use one as my active backup, and every few months or so, clone that drive to the other one and swap them, just in case one ever fails ya know..
Why not just use a RAID?
My CPU crapped out. And the wire leading to the thing that goes 'beep' when you turn on cpu was broken.
In trying to diagnose the CPU issue, I had to turn computer on and off a lot. Somehow, doing that on and off repeatedly corrupted the hard drives. So raid doesn't protect against problems like that or power spikes that fry things.
I haven't seen a PC that would actually have audible post codes in a very long time. Nowadays it's usually LEDs, or a very simple little display.
