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.

Awesome, it was about last summer that the 22TB came out, so about time for the 24TB.

As for the "shingled" SMR, I don't get it... you only get an extra 4TB by using SMR, just doesn't seem worth the very significant negatives of SMR just for an extra 4TB.
