I'm not expert, but.. If you want to hoard data and not really use it, it's good choice.. Also Seagate gives 2 year warranty and I some models they offer free data recovery in case of damage

Like in any other case.. Gosh.. You've reminded me of my old optic discs.. Hope they won't root much
There's too many factors and things we have no idea about that.. We can't say anything about it.. How, what happened to them and stuff.. 3 in week? I wouldn't be surprised if they were used to mining or there was electrical failure in setup, but until we learn about causes, there's no way we will know..
I personally have Seagate as my main storage.. Am I concerned about it's state? Well it's only storage, it ain't even plugged most of time, so I'm more scared about corrosion than actual failure.. I have decade old Apollo drive filled with data. Unless there'll be anything mechanical that will damage it.. I doubt it will catch bigger issues than filesystem errors
I prefer physical units, but.. I'm actually worried about my games. Like ok, I have many games I never put in drive, because I have no time to play, but.. Will it mean I won't be able to install them if disc has only key to online storage? There's so many problems with current devices and releases I can't even name them all
