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.

If that drive crashes, you will lose 14TB of data :(

This is always my thoughts but if you bought 2 and always made a duplicate then could be worth it

That’s why you buy two!

That's why I've stuck to floppies! Gotta keep your individual losses low amiright?

I would just make sure that I don't store anything important on it. But since it is so big, it can even double as a backup drive for the main system.

Like in any other case.. Gosh.. You've reminded me of my old optic discs.. Hope they won't root much
