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.
I've been using the 14 TB version for Plex for a while and it's great. It's a little loud, even in my Fractal R5 case.
I'm super interested in experiences with this site as well. My risk appetite is higher, and a a few faulty drives won't irreversibly set me back.
I don't think I would want to build a system that solely consists of these though.
My drive has been going strong for about 7 months now. It's my main media drive and torrent drive so it's been spinning since day 1.
