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 have the Costco flier advertising the 14 tb seagate drive and it says the deals are for members 11/21/2023-12/17/2023 on the front of the flier.

How reliable are the seagate 14 tb externals?

I usually get western digital externals never bought a Seagate external.

Are these 14 externals shuckable? Probably won't shuck them since I can't buy 6 but I hear they making it harder to shuck. My last buys for recertified enterprise drives.

I've had two Seagates fail within a couple years, they're notorious
