So it's been a a few years since I've bought hard drives for my little home server and wanted to get a bead on what's the target on dollar to TB in the post Covid world. Thanks!

Sounds like good practice. If you’re depending directly on the reliability of the drive, you’re doing backups wrong.

Yup, data loss happens at some point, either hardware failure, software bugs, or just plain old user error.

Who are we?

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.

We are one. We are legion. And we're trying really hard not to forget.
