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.

If these were in a RAID array, what can happen is that when one drive goes bad, the other drives get pushed into overdrive during recovery, which can then tip those over the edge.
There is no "going into overdrive", there's just more work which means a higher chance some of the work fails.
