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.

Best 4tb to 8tb drive below 150 euros (alien.top)

I want to start data hoarding ebooks and other educational media, this drive will live off the grid most of the time as my area gets a lot of storms and I've lost a previous setup to a surge (surge protectors did not help). The drive will not see much reading, mainly writing so I was thinking maybe a surveillance drive might be best. I'm looking at around ~2tb of calculated storage I'll be needing so maybe a 4tb or 8tb (if possible with my budget) might be better in order to have some more space for future data needs. What are my best options below 150 euro?

Seagate Exos E 8TB is currently at about 150€ on mindfactory. But it’s quiet loud. For some people this is a problem.
