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 drive caddy and 20tb+ drives (alien.top)

I just learnt about drive caddies a few minutes ago. What do you recommend? I’d like one that can potentially hold 2-4. My current Exos 14 and 16tb HDD are mostly full and I’d like a 20tb+. My case can only hold 2 HDD. What drive/brand do you recommend.

Is putting something like two 22tb HDD into a drive caddy a dumb idea? Will my data be safe?

It’s not dumb, I plan to get this to use as a backup to my desktop drives.
