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've been looking at drives on ServerPartDeals the past few months, bought a few the past few months, and noticing a similar trend. Got 1 18TB recertified for $165, then a month later got two for $175, now they're up to $199.

They probably have a price bot/algorithm that tracks prices elsewhere and adjusts their prices to trend the same.
