Hey Nano. Yeah, I know what you mean. The older magnetic drives get even if they are unused, the greater the risk of eventual failure and data loss. But I just checked allt he HDDs I now have-- checked the most recently found Green drive yesterday as soon as I discovered it, and I've checked the two blue drives within the last week and they still are in perfect condition. I was going to use single drivebay cases for each of the two blue drives-- but I don't have a lot of real estate to have lots of junk on my table so I couldn't afford to have four single drive enclosures spread out on my table, so I thought one large enclosure that would support all three of them together to minimize space would be best. One blue drive has digitized movies on it and so I want to use it as my movie library of course, for when I plan to be in my room for a while and want to watch a movie. The other blue drive and the green drive are blank. I am going to use the green drive as an additional back-up to my 2.5" MX500 Crucial SSD....and the second blue drive-- I dont know yet. Probably another back-up of the back-up so I can dump all the junk from the dozens of USBs that I have. And if the drives eventually fail, well, it's no big loss. I have blu-rays of the movies on the first WD Blue and I have a Disney+ account, so I won't lose any sleep over that one if it fails. As for the other blue/green drive that are file/info/exe back-ups....I have plenty of other copies of those as well. And honestly, the drives are already five to twelve years old so if they die eventually, I won't complain. 'Preciate your advice though www.amazon.com/dp/B077PMJ2X4/ Thanks Vanguard, but my dad warned me away from StarTech...and I have already purchased the drivebay from Orico. THanks though. Appreciate the look-out!

Well, I am to report that my PC is finally up and running.....and running as good as new. I have most of programs recovered and installed, though I have a feeling I'm missing a few based on the number of shortcuts presently on my desktop so I am looking through all my folders on my SSD backup. But in the long run whatever I am missing is more than likely something I rarely if ever used, so I won't worry too much. And right now I am installed Mass Effect OT, finished 2 already, now half way through installing 3. Then going to move onto Andromeda and Fallen Order. I am not installing DA II, DA:O, DA:I or ANTHEM. After all my games are installed and I have checked that they are working properly w/o error messages... I am finally going to move on to setting up my HDDs in that new drive bay. And once that is done and working properly, I am going to be one happy guy . But....The next time something like this happens, I am going to say FRO and just buy all new stuff because this has been a complete pain in my fluffy butt.

I SAID BURNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNN ITTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTT!
I will smash it with my drumsticks into millionses of tiny pieces, douse it in gasoline, light and match and then cleanse it with fire...don't worry. It will go *poof*, and then it will go * Kah-Blewy*
But as for right now....I'm am very pleased and relieved to tell you all that my PC is 99.999 percent done, and it is up and running buttery smoove. I only have ME 1 to install, and I have to fix MS OFFICE that I downloaded through Work but I can call the Star Wars Help Desk on the Deathstar our HelpDesk/IT Dept tomorrow and let them deal with it. So, simple fixes.
And lastly, I am going to install my HDDs and Drive bay. But after tomorrow, I am going to do a happy dance.....I am going to *bang bang bang* my drums as loud as I possibly can, do some break dancing and hop for joy!

Hey Y'all......So I am now one very happy Bunny! I got my drive bay connected, installed and working 500%. All the drives are readable, all the drives are visible from "THIS PC", in tip-tip 100% working order and 500% healthy.
*Begins the Energizer Bunny Dance of Joy*
