Who are we?
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). Along the way we have sought out like-minded individuals to exchange strategies, war stories, and cautionary tales of failures.
We are one. We are legion. And we're trying really hard not to forget.

Hard drive stocks are currently a mess. I don't get it, even Amazon has low stocks on everything be it small or large drives.
Local supplier increased prices to ridiculous values and still doesn't have the numbers. Anyone knows what's going on?
Check serverpartdeals, they have tons of stock. I'm currently looking at buying several of these over the next year or two.
