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.

best black Friday deals on hard drives? I only see modest sales on new drivers, should I go with recertified? (alien.top)

I want to by around 6 drives to add to my nas. I was waiting for black Friday sales but they only have modest discounts, recertified drives on ebay seems more enticing

what do you think?

It’s a limit of one though

I see. If so, then just buy 1 at $269.99. The price before BF was $279.99. At that non BF price, it's still good and w/o the quantity limit, I imagine?

Same drive for sale online at Walmart for the same price of the newegg limit is a problem for anyone

I hope Walmart will still ship even though we bought 4
