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.

Hi guys,

I'm building my first NAS and I was looking for HDD options. I was looking for buying a used HDD from eBay but I read some posts here recommending avoiding that.

I did some research on Amazon and I have found some interesting offers like this one here

https://www.amazon.ca/Ultrastar-HUS724040ALA640-0F14688-Internal-Enterprise/dp/B0859NQ1RV/ref=sr_1_3?crid=KG18JEJBFMFQ&keywords=hard+drive&qid=1699444106&sprefix=hard+%2Cspecialty-aps%2C83&sr=8-3&srs=17351028011

A 4TB HDD from HGST with a 5 Years of warranty, is it a good deal to go with?

if you really want 5 year warranty and peace of mind, then consider a Seagate IronWolf Pro, because they ship with 5-year warranty and 3-year Rescue Data Recovery Services.
