Best computer upgrade and save options

Couple of questions different but first background with what I use our computer to my work. We produce 2 large catalogs a year, deal with TONS of images to create our range of products with our own unique designs created in-house. Large files with a lot of storage and a screen with true colors is therefore paramount.

1. we are looking to upgrade a desktop computers (old iMac that I can't even find the year on it). I recently had to completely erase and reset up to an iMac (27 "mid-2011, intel core i7 to 3.4 GHZ;) Memory: 8 GB 1333 MHz DDR3) we could substitute, but it has been unreliable in the past (where the reason I wiped it). Praying is good to go now, but I don't feel too comfortable with it and so I am researching options for the purchase of a new. Any suggestions?

2. the other computer in our office is a Mac Pro (mid-2012; Processor: 2 x 3.06 GHz 6 - Core Intel Xeon; Memory: 48 GB 1333 MHz DDR3 ECC; Storage: 427.04 free G to Go 999,35 more a free WD4TB of 3.49 tuberculosis and a 4 TB 2,81 free TB MyBook). I am looking for a reliable backup option. We have a great Pro LaCie 5big (I can't seem to get any other information that it) I try to keep everything backed up on all the computer and I use the WD4TB and the MyBook actually keep all our files and knit out of them. Did some research earlier, I read that drives external hard only last 1-3 years and still less with constant use on them. We produce a large catalog, so I thought that in order to save wear and tear on my MacPro and keep it clear so I could easily work in several large files, it would be smart to run all my files off my external drive of my book, but now I'm not so sure since I read that could degrade the lives of the MyBook.

Thoughts? Suggestions?

Thank you!!

For backup, I prefer pregnant OWC (www.macsales.com) because they seem to live forever. However HD is HD fail eventually. I have gone through other types of housing including LaCie, Seagate, and WD and have had prolonged with OWC products then success than others always failed.

Your business may be a good candidate for the ThunderBay 4 OWC solution that has the ability to manage up to 24 TB of data.
