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.

They are probably 256gb drives that show up in the OS as 4tb. When you start writing files over the actual capacity of the drive , it will just start overwriting the initial files that you put on there.
Good thing Amazon has a good return policy
Fuck Amazon, they make everything more expensive or shittier
Only reason I got them was for the return policy, if I saw them on aliexpress or temu I wouldn't touch them.
