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.

What do you like instead?

Anything

  1. with a 5 year warranty
  2. that also holds multiple drives
  3. where you bought those drives in ways designed to avoid correlated failures

I can't stop your PSU from exploding. I can keep individual hard drive failures from erasing everything.
