Not the minutes , but real agriculture covered it , they ' re suppose to release the minutes at some point . <| sep |> Yes , I ' m glad to see someone mention considering internal options , as I ' ve been wondering if that would be a better route too . I ' m not really dead set on external . The reason I had my eye on 16 TB external setup is because it seemed like an easy , clean way to last a while . It seems like I ' m constantly dealing with this every 6 months or so as my photo library grew , so I ' d like to do something that will last a while . Here ' s my setup . I have a 500 GB SSD as my boot drive on a Windows 10 machine . I have a blank 128 GB SSD as my Photoshop scratch disk . I have a 5 TB WD Black as my current production drive for my photo library . My local backup is to a 4 TB external WD drive that is nearly full . My offsite backup is through CrashPlan to the cloud . One other option I ' ve been considering is buying a 8 TB external WD drive for local backup . I don ' t really need performance on that . And maybe another 4 or 5 TB WD Black internal drive . Anyway , yes , internal is something I ' m definitely open to .
