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.

Reliable CMR shuckers? Or am I better off getting Reds or Ultrastars or something these days? (alien.top)

I haven't done this in ages. I would like 20TBs but they look kinda expensive. What's better price per TB these days usually?

Serverpartsdeals is the new hotness now. Outside of that regular exos, red pros and ironwolf pros go on steep sales now. Externals aren’t worth shucking anymore.

I'm in Australia, the steep sales don't really exist. Shucking still saves me heaps.
