More than one copy > ‘longevity’ in the marketing. Drives fail, make allowances. Realistically, it only has to last until you get an even bigger drive in a couple of years.

evasync OP ,

i few drives that I have are 10yod and s couple more 5+…

do modern drives meant to last and be replaced every a couple of years?

I dont mind if a drive fails because ill have dupes… what I want is to minimize the failures.

wd red+ and wd ae make look promising but i dont have an experience with them

I use HGST and/or WD whenever possible. My off-site drives go into a sealable box with a desiccant that gets replaced every 6 months or so.

evasync OP ,

if its sealed airtight why do you need to replsce them every 6 months?

thats a good advice though… to match my paranoia levels I would add a fireproof + faraday box
