You can easily shelve a mechanical drive for 10 years and still retrieve data from it. Whereas, a never powered SSD will likely have data retention issues well before that.
As for how much storage someone needs, consider incremental backups from multiple systems or backups of physical discs.
The average 4K BluRay is between 50-100GB to backup without conversion, for example. It adds up quick if you're a data hoarder.
However, a backup isn't a backup without some redundancy of its own. So if you're going to use a 14TB drive for backups, you should have at least that somewhere else as a secondary backup.

Usually, I purchase directly from Server Part Deals, but want to try this seller.
I don't know how the 5-yr warranty will work, but let's see...

Does 5 year warranty include data recovery?
I might buy for off line air gapped data storage which means it would be off 99% of the time.

For the price, I'm in it for the reason you mentioned. This is going to be a one-stop backup for other various storage in my PC. It will be powered on for a couple of hours once a month or something like that.

Looks like eBay provides a one year warranty through Allstate and the seller provides a 5 year warranty. GoHardDrive has been around a while so hopefully there's no issue honoring it.
