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.

Hi all, I recently bought my first enclosure. I've been looking at SSDs on Amazon but I'm not sure what to go with. Can anyone recommend a good 20TB SSD? I'll be using it for Plex. Are there any good sales at the moment anywhere (I'm in Ireland, not sure where to look!). This is the enclosure I bought:

When I have a chance I'll check to received enclosure to see if its max capacity SSD is 16 or 20TB as it mentions both in the pictures and written description!

I'm an idiot. Thought HDDs were just the standard standalone hard drives that didn't require an enclosure! So yeah, it's HDDs I should be looking for 🫠
