Hi,

I have a 4 bay, 2 x 10tb and 2 x 20tb. All drives are relatively new (less than 1000 hours) but since drives can fail anytime, do you guys keep a spare on hand at home? Thinking of keeping a 20tb spare but i find it too costly just to let it sit idle on the other hand, if indeed one drive suddenly fails, how fast should i run to the store and get a replacement?

Thanks
