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.

Really debating this, anyone know how good the drives are internally?
From what I've read online, the recently manufactured ones come with EXOS 2X14 Drives.
That would mean these are good no? I bought one when I saw buildapc raving about the EXOS but now I’m second guessing looking here. Everyone assumed it was a barracuda?
Yeah, I've heard good things about exos drives. Especially the dual actuator Mach.2 ones like this one. They're supposed to be really fast. I've heard that they reach 500MB/s reads but mine got 300MB/s in crystal disk benchmark. Mine is still in the enclosure btw, so that could be limiting it.
