Large HDD purchase advice (urgent)
(alien.top)
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.
Look for the best deals and the best $/TB ratio. Not really much other advices rather than having more backup copies next time.
Found WD recertified MyBook drives at €200/14tb, so €14.28/tb and I bought two for backup, working towards a proper 3-2-1
Good luck further with your configuration!
