Data Hoarder

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.

Google's billions are no better than my $500 NAS, it would appear.

It probably is still better. They have a billion users. Not saying this is not bad, they have one job and it should not happen. But Ive lost equipment at home for different reasons even though raid, surge protection etc etc. I doubt I statisticly could do better.

Not with that attitude you won’t! You need multiple redundant RAID arrays with their own redundant RAID arrays to assert your dominance over data loss.
