I had a 150GB WD Raptor that died after two years. When I sent it to WD for a warranty replacement in 2011, I remember thinking "maybe they'll send me back a Velociraptor..."

And they did! They sent me a 300GB Velociraptor. I was ecstatic.

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.
