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.

Real talk. If you live close enough to the border why not jump over here and buy some? Obviously you probably lose warranty coverage. And I do know there are limits to what you can bring back tax/duty free. I think it's like 800 cad or something. But If they're half price you'd think it's worth it.
