  I trust Synology RAIDs for my data and backups.
  I buy a SOLID machine every 5 years.
  About 2-3 years in, I find the same machine, used, off lease. And I buy that as a backup device (Swap the drives and memory and go).
  
  I've had to use this twice in my career because of hardware failures. Then I simply work on ordering the new machines. (I spend $5K on a new laptop, so I am not the norm. 64GB, 4 internal SSD Slots). I Don't play computer games.
  
  Anyways. For lightweight stuff, I like the LG Gram. It's almost disposable at $1,200 for something equipped. I travel with that. My main machine stays under lock and key, LOL.

    i LOVE used HP and Dell workstations from eBay
    
    just got a HP Z440 for $100
    and a Dell 7810 Dual Xeon for $140
    
    i found an adapter on eBay that lets you put 3 drives into the front space on a HP that would hold 2 (drives or DVD-readers)
    
    and i believe i can get an older system to see over 2TB with a PCIe SATA adapter
    
    re-certified 12TB or larger drives, with RAID work great, buy one extra of the same for a spare

  Maybe your PC is a Democrat just as lockstep TDS stubborn as its Jackass Party.
  Yeah, so maybe it just needs a coupla hits of that Trumpenol you're sponsoring up above.

      Yeah, then maybe your PC will wanna cooperate.
      If not, feeding it a carrot may help.
