I have a hook-up to get some older drives from another

better since they were more expensive and less density.
Call it superstition on my part, but for other than a couple of 2TB
drives used for backup (i.e. powered and run only occasionally), my
working drives are mostly 500GB-1TB SATA models.
It's probably foolish and irrational, but I somehow just don't trust the
bargain-basement 4TB drives to perform long-term.
Am I being silly?
