Data Hoarder

1 readers
1 users here now

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've heard mixed reviews about these drives and errors. Are those unfounded?

there is no guarantee whats in it, but if it's the WD Ultrastar DC HC550, then they are fine. I've never used these 'as is' just shucked.

Also, there's a 10% coupon from WD for first-time buyers.
