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.

so are these drives worth it? I mean the price is nice but is the quality worth it?

I'm interested but don't want something to die out. I suppose my other question is what is normal life expectancy if 4/5 years is considered bad.

Do these have the 3.3v pin issue?

Well, I got an Enterprise one (WUH721818ALE6L4) for US$ 245 shipped.

I bought two. One to give me room for another 900 movies on Plex and another to back them up. I should be good for awhile.

how about stock picks that are about to grow well?

[–] DeathStalker_x77x@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

Yes, but can you shuck them and use them? Or have they added the drive encryption to the interface?

And what specific model drives are they? (The HDD, not the easyStore)

Some of the 10TB Easystores in my server are getting close to 5 years, so this is a convenient time to upgrade.

Mine came in late last week. I hooked it up yesterday, and it is making an incessant clacking noise, so I'm returning it.
