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.

I thought I was the only one.

I had three 14tb drives fail within two weeks of each other. Two of them made horrible clicks and failed their SMART checks. The other I had to unplug to get my computer to boot.

I assumed it was my raid/passthrough card or cables doing something weird (eBay so you never know) but after reading some of the anecdotes here, I'm not so sure.

To make things even better - I submitted that RMA in August and I'm still waiting on the replacements because "the warehouse is backordered."
