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.
