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.

Or just like a hard drive enclosure i guess. Currently I am looking at this one that has 5 bays. (ebay.com/itm/114750397138) Would this be somewhat reliable?

I heard people recommend the mediasonic probox but it only has 4 bays and is more expensive.

I currently have a cheap 2 slot docking station and its really finicky and is starting to disconnect randomly.

Some of them don't pass SMART data, or worse, pass the same data for all drives. Check the Amazon/external reviews.

I just bought a QNAP TL-D800C that looks pretty good and was on a BF sale.
