This is one of the reasons why I prefer having a few smaller drives than one big one. Having a zillion terabytes of storage one one drive is great and all, but that's a lot of stuff to potentially lose when something craps out. I'd sooner have a couple smaller ones so that if one hdd does shit the bed..err case? at least not everything's gone.
that's the neat thing if you're shooting 4k or above 3TB IS a small drive
If you have a proper backup system in place that shouldn't be a problem. Speaking of which I should do another round of backups...
