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.

I saw an ad on Facebook for a 4tb nas for 50 bucks. It's a Lacie with dual 1gb Ethernet and yeah it's a 4tb alright. Idiot selected maximum security storage and had it mirror 4tb 8 times. Also has 4 USB ports which I added another 2 4tb to. That I already had. This was 6 months ago and ive filled up all those 36tb and another 40tb. Then I have a 4tb+2tb+ the 2 SD card slots have 1tb+1tb so 8tb in my little handheld and I don't want to admit what I have in my desktop. But I got a good deal on USB C 1tb SSDs and bought more then all my fingers and toes worth. Everything is 95% or more full.

Should I get help?
