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.

Do you know how much theyd cost? Lmao
Sering refurbished 20TB ones for just over €200 on Serverpartdeals.com. Would they be reliable?
How... the hell are you finding 20TB SSDs for that price? 15TB ones are like $1k lol
Lol, going by some of the responses I'm getting I think I'm using the wrong term 😅 this is an example of what I'm talking about: https://serverpartdeals.com/products/seagate-exos-x20-st20000nm007d-20tb-7-2k-rpm-sata-6gb-s-3-5-recertified-hard-drive
That's an HDD, much cheaper (like 5~6x) for the capacity than SSDs.
It'll work fine. As for 16 vs 20TB you most likely don't have to worry about it. Usually those "limits" exist because drives larger than 16TB didn't exist at the time, or they existed but the manufacturer didn't bother certifying.
The only actually limit for something like this is 2TB. If it says it can do more then it has no effective limit.
Thanks very much, it's making more sense to me now!
