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.

How to Buy Hdd's new in bulk (alien.top)

Hi I'm looking to Buy Some Hdd's in Bulk. Like 2TB Cmr Hdds. Or something that won't immediately wipe like drives with trim do. Any Idea where? I feel buying in bulk would be cheaper that buying another Hdd every now and then.

Aren't there added concerns of batch-faults like impurities in the metals used in production that will ruin a whole set of drives, when buying in bulk? Also, if they're all shipped in the same package, and that package suffers abuse, won't that ruin all or most of the drives?
