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 could use 32TB but I’m not trusting Seagate again!

Seagate screwed me over on three drives I all at one time. Everyone of them died within 30 days of the warranty being up.

So yeah, I've not bought anything from them in years either - nor will I in the future!

Is it that shocking though? That’s a lot of storage. I’m sure when like 14TB etc came out that was also a ludicrous amount.
