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.

Hey I've been mostly WD Rust spinner since days of IDE, yeah IDE not EIDE LOL. But prices on spinning rust don't seem to be coming down much lately and I am in need of expansion. I have seen people say I have a misguided trust in and just lottery luck of my 30 years of WD. Also ran some Maxtors back then too with success.

That being said, review sites don't seem to be what they used to be with HDDs even SSDs for that matter. Youtubers seems to be sponsored by /via free hardware. So what is the popular opinion around here about current Seagate Quality? Because have almost exclusively been WD, and the only Seagate I owned guess 20 years also died on me sometime within the few years of owning it.

Seagate Exos 7E10 ST10000NM017B 10TB 7200 RPM 256MB Cache SATA is what I am looking at.
