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.

Hey don't forget the 150 gb model they made with the transparent window to see it working.
That was so damn cool back then.
Window kit on the side panel Chrome skull fan grills with the LED eyes CCFL blue tube in the bottom Then add in a HDD raptor with a window kit
You'd be king of the lan party
I've modded a old HDD with a cutout in the top case, and glued a plastic layer over it. was cool to see.
Didn't last more than a hour before it was dead.
