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.

These are currently on sale at $9/tb from SPD. They appear to be rebranded Seagate Exos 20s. From reading online, it appears that these are drives that failed enterprise tests and are being resold for consumers. That makes me a bit nervous, but the price is right for budget redundancy. Would appreciate any input.

What should I store on this if I bought it? I would have about 16 tb free.
