All I run is Greens, lots of them

This ^ guy gets it!

No. You need it. Must. Have.

I finally got my drives today... SOOOOOO happy, finally getting more storage, was running out and even had to move stuff to other PC's to keep it all.
 
Im still in the process of backing up and preparing to replace the drives so no specs yet. Turned out the 6TB drives i wanted (nobody remembers i mentioned this right?) kept being to expensive, so i went with 5TB drives. Will post a real update soon . Attached a pic of the drives so i at least post something useful.

 

Feel better now?
 

After reading @weeandykidd post, I had a look at my own drives power on hours, and most of my drive has about 18-22k hours on and then there is this one o_O

37824 hours
1576 days
225 weeks
4.3 years.
 
All my drives are old
