With my older PC, the motherboard employs Intel P55 chipset, and IC-7410 USB I/F works with both USB 2.0 and USB 3.0 ports on the motherboard.

After installing the operating system to the first HDD, which also holds all my data for ham radio and for other hobbies, I added two more drives for data backup.

Although all the parts for my new PC are new except for the middle tower ATX case, these two drives are a few years old, salvaged from my old PCs. I had three at hand, but one showed lots of bad sectors, so I had to throw it away.

% badblocks -v /dev/sd?1

In the age of cloud services, the necessity for keeping ones data locally is surely decreasing. Previously, I tried to keep at least three sets of my complete data locally in different machines in different drives, but now maybe I should be satisfied with less number of copies.

A gigabit switch is used to copy data from the old to the new PC.

(old_pc) % rsync -av /opt/data_to_keep* new_pc:/opt/

The throughput of 1Gbps is actually observed during the copy of large files.
