#DataHoarder

I've been using a pair of drives for my backups for a few years now. One is a Seagate 2TB HDD, which I use for manual file backups every few weeks; the other is a Sandisk 1TB SSD which I use for Time Machine backups for my Macbook (which, yes, is up to…

Most don't care about what randos say on there but several key figures like to revise history so not having backups makes them unaccountable.…

Sorry if this is a noob idea or discussion. I already have a ton of retro games,movies and TV shows. I have a few books but not enough. Let's say I move to another country and don't set up the Internet.…

I've started with Panasonics because this is what I have the most of. Does this count as data hoarding? It is data of something i'm hoarding lol. The internal shots i'm pretty sure are the only ones on the internet.…

I bought a Laptop to try out and run the Code that's hosted on https://github.com/jerrybeomsoo Now, i had some time to try it out today first time in weeks, and it's gone. Also, i can't seem to find any backup of it.…

Sorry if this is the wrong sub. I've just found an old Public Domain Software Index ("Goodman Enterprises Public Domain and Shareware Services For the Atari ST Computer"), version 4.0 from February 1990. It has all 38 pages in it.…

I've never bothered to check my hard drives' health until now, what do I do with this information? Is 1,600 hours of 'uptime' a lot? I've had the hard drive for years.

Hello I am a data hoarder who is trying to find a sustainable way of keeping data and back ups of a few things. So I found a deal on an LTO 6 reader and I am trying to find if it's possible to make it work externally since I have never seen the kind of…

I'm looking for two cold storage providers for "backup of my backups" with no min. TB cost. My needs are tiny from r/datahoarder standards – only ≈70 GB (as of now) per provider.…

Hey friends of data, Recently, I've discovered PaperHub, an online data presentation platform, where each academic presentation is linked to an official DOI and can be rated.…

To some degree, the answer is obvious, 'cold storage backups of things that are crucial'. That was the purpose of some of them prior and can be the same now, albeit probably asking a relative to just pop them somewhere so it's true 3-2-1.…

I found this while looking for some external storage and they are really cheap, does anybody have any experience about those Refurbished Drives? Are they any good? submitted by /u/gmnx0208 [link] [comments]

The magnetic tape was long considered obsolete. Now the LTO market is growing faster than in years – AI and increasing archiving needs make it possible. submitted by /u/Time-Bodybuilder4165 [link] [comments]

https://web.archive.org/web/20260000000000*/https://old.reddit.com/ Years of archived Reddit history have been lost. This likely happened because Reddit wanted to stop AI companies from scraping archived pages instead of paying for data (announced in the…

Starting my journey to decouple where I can. Got two 12tb Toshiba n300 pro drives for our family of two + dog (backing up and quickly accessing the dog photos is critical) Bonus that we just got fiber yesterday too submitted by /u/Fudwick [link] [comments]

Old Habits Die Hard. I shucked a 28TB Seagate Expansion drive and I ended up with a Barracuda Label. Does anyone have anymore knowledge on these? Are they labeled Barracuda but are actually exos drives?…

I have 2 1tb Sabrent Rockets that i want to use externally with my M4 MaxPro. I would rather save the usbc receptor and put them in one device but that might be an issue with heat. has anyone tried anything to do this?…

Hey guys, I'm a content creator, and I've been running out of space on my computer pretty quickly. Between video footage, photos, and all my project files, I'm constantly moving stuff around and backing things up.…

So I have an external Seagate 2tb HDD from 2013, it only has 2026 power on hours and 479 power on count according to crystaldiskinfo. Just after someone's opinion on whether they'd trust to use such an old HDD for storage of photos etc.…
