We are digital librarians. Among us are represented the various reasons to keep data -- legal requirements, competitive requirements, uncertainty of permanence of cloud services, distaste for transmitting your data externally (e.g. government or corporate espionage), cultural and familial archivists, internet collapse preppers, and people who do it themselves so they're sure it's done right. Everyone has their reasons for curating the data they have decided to keep (either forever or For A Damn Long Time (tm) ). Along the way we have sought out like-minded individuals to exchange strategies, war stories, and cautionary tales of failures.

I need to order a new drive and am looking for a 20tb+ to use for Plex media. Which ones have good reputations?

Literally any drive. If you don’t want to lose data, then make sure you have backups because all drives are prone to failure at some unknown point in the future.

20TB of usable storage means at least 60TB of total storage. 20TB as primary local data, 20TB as local backup, and 20TB as offsite backup.
