What I have been lately, is building my own with drives
with Rosewill backup cases (RX304-APU3-35B). I populate
them with Western Digital drives. Had one Blue drive
go bad. I have since switched to Red and Black drives
and haven't had an issue.
Is there any error detection on the USB link between the device being
backed up and the
Rosewill Box + Disk? Or do we just send the bits over the link and
hope for the best?
