I have another memory-hungry hobby - OTR (Old Time Radio ) and they gobble up a lot of disk storage space. I use the extra BIAB drives to store my thousands of shows which works beautifully.

The source archive ( www.archive.org ) is still available if I should need to re-download if I should lose anything but I have been lucky so far.

Matt mentions an important point; having too many drives connected will slow your computer to a crawl. How would I know that? lol

I had recently lost a 1TB SSD drive and all of the data on it ( including BIAB ). Moral: Make frequent backups or drive images regularly.
