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 plan to use with optiplex 3060 and need drive for long term seed which means continuous read though the read would be only for few kb

Earlier I had seagate external drive shucked but they died after using for 1 year 24*7

Look for enterprise or NAS grade drives. Really no matter which brand, just look for the best $/TB ratio.
