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.

Personally I'd go for the 18TB WD. I trust WD as a brand more than Seagate these days, and I bought the 18TB last weekend and it's not that loud in my opinion. Plus I was able to drive down to bestbuy and pick up the WD without having to worry about how it would be shipped (safely or not) to me.
