Buy enterprise gear if you want longevity. I have a stack of Seagate Exos drives that I’ve had for many years of 24/7 uptime without a single failure yet.
Oh i’m not. I have a dream machine that’s currently a paperweight. I’m in need of a hard drive at the moment and getting by on a spare laptop.
I’ll occasionally buy an old system from someone, pilfer parts.
Not new, but most of the time lightly used.
I’ll even usually wipe the drive and it’s partition right in front of them so they know.

I do preach 24/7 uptime as well, but sadly $1279.99 for a 32TB is out of my price range.
How else are you getting 32TB cheaper atm?
