I have a NAS with four 8TB Western Digital Red drives that are getting up there in age. I have been looking for a good deal to upgrade then with higher capacity drives for the last few years. Now I’m thinking when they fail I’ll probably have to buy lower capacity drives and be more picky with what data I keep around.

Maybe I’ll look into burning Blu-rays and CDs. I’m definitely not going back to cloud storage.

I’m already there. It’s peaceful.
