What’s a good medium for hoarding data. Other than tape. Normally I use 2tb hdds but I am hesitant to Smr hdds now after needing the data recovered and how difficult its being. Would CMR be better? Flash Storage? Glitch or accidental formatting would remove any hope of recovering of a SSD. Don’t need it for Casual Use just An easy way to store it with little risk to data loss and easy to recover if it does.
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.
