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.

Serverpartdeals.com! They have recertified 18TB drives for $165 today. They're Dell-branded, but are still Seagate Exos drives.

I am looking for 8TB-10TB is more than enough for my needs mostly to backup my 2 SSD drives.

How soon are you looking to buy, and how many? I'll have some 10TB drives for sale soon.

For now, only looking for 1 and how soon depends on the price and drive condition.
