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.

Yikes. We see £1100 for two. That’s $1300 equivalent I think? Basically, twice the price in 🇬🇧 :(
Is that a consequence of brexit or something else that predates it?
No, WD drives are just more expensive in europe
(The price on the european websites already includes VAT, don't know if thats the case for the US website)
Yes, US prices all include the 0% VAT we have here.
US websites never include sales tax, because it varies by state and even municipality within a state. It can be 0%, it can be 8%.
