Is it me, or does it not seem like there are many decent black Friday deals on any kind of internal storage whether it be a spinning hard drive or a solid-state device? My last drive purchase was a 16 TB Toshiba enterprise and they paid $225. Black Friday deals. Don’t even come close to this. Except, perhaps, if people are willing to shuck.

We have better price tracking tools now than we did 20+ years ago. There’s plenty of websites that will tell me how good a sale price is without me having to skim through a bunch of old issues of Computer Shopper by hand.

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 ™ ). Along the way we have sought out like-minded individuals to exchange strategies, war stories, and cautionary tales of failures.
