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.

Case Recommendations (self.datahoarder)

I'm having a hard time figuring out what case I want to get. Part of me thinks hot swap bays would be nice (I've had a drive failure and figuring out which one would have been 10x easier with hot swap). Of course in the future I'll have labels with S/N on the drives so it's easier to find the drive.

So provide me any case recommendations with 8+ drive bays if internal, and 6+ if hot swap. (I have a 5 drive pool now, but want to be semi future-proof).

Well you sold me! Lol. Yeah, I can't imagine I'll be troubleshooting too often, but being able to pull it out a little should help.
