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.
Hello, i found a offering on Ebay for refurbished seagate enterprise capacity harddrives with a good price (12tb/120€).
Has anyone experience using these drives in a nas and would recommend them ? Or should I stay away?
I’m running a 4 bay nas with raid5.
Thanks.
I second that, Seagate AND refurbished is a no go.
Seagate or refurbished is already enough to hardly consider
It's interesting reading this. Here we switched from WD over to Seagate for couple of years since they totally redeemed themselves. Planing to switch from 4* 8TB WD Reds to 8* 20TB Seagates next month and can't wait to build the system
