There are cheaper options for long tern occasional use. For instance you would only need 5,400 RPM if you are not accessing it all the time

There is a reddit group called "Datahoarders." they are very helpful with questions like this.

I'd like to get some large drives to serve as long-term storage that is infrequently accessed (with additional drives for backups occasionally made and cycled off-site). I think these are meant for active server use, and suspect the infrequent use might actually decrease their life span.

Am I right about that? If so, then might I ask you all to please suggest more appropriate drives for my purpose? It's been a LONG time since I did any serious IT work, and I'm very out of the loop nowadays.

I forgot about that sub, thanks! I've been deliberately avoiding Reddit since they forced my preferred Android clients to go under this past summer, but occasionally I just have to hold my nose and use theirs to get what I need. I'll spend some time researching the sub's FAQ & such before posting - I'm sure I can't be the only one asking such questions at least every so often.

How about a large external drive like wd easystore (best buy exclusive) or wd elements ?
Usually they are available at a better price than an internal HDD.

Also if you plan to follow a solid backup strategy,
I recommend getting refurb(used) drive from spd. Can get 18tb drived for about 160 - 180$ and they charge no tax.

How do you know that it's not a 6-8k (minimum, could be more) hour drive, and someone just reset the smart data to "pretty it up"?

Is it normal for these super high capacities to be double the cost per TB? Even the 12TB seems to be around $16 per.
And this is $15 per TB and thus a nice deal. Cheaper would be better of course but this is good.
