Who are we?

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). Along the way we have sought out like-minded individuals to exchange strategies, war stories, and cautionary tales of failures.

We are one. We are legion. And we're trying really hard not to forget.

I have the impression that they're recommending this drive just because of the affiliate link money.

They link to a review that they made SIX years ago and at that time it was the fastest drive. Six years it's a geologic era for this kind of stuff. That review is outdated and invalid if compared to modern hardware.

IMHO it doesn't make sense in 2024 to buy a server PCIe 3.0 drive at enterprise prices when you can get a much faster seagate ironwolf pcie 4.0 nvme drive for half the price and in 2TB configuration.

What is better about this than a 4tb firecuda drive for less money?
