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.
Am I just dumb? Why would one connect a drive to a NAS, move files around, then connect that drive to another machine? Why wouldn't you just access the NAS from... idk... the network?
Fair question, I had large amount of files, photos and videos to move and since NAS has 2 x USB ports I thought why not? Over the network it’s quite slow. The thing worked fine, I left it connected for 2 days and then came up with stupid idea to unplug it and do something with it on my iMac.
