Good deal, under $10 per TB. I was also able to use Discover offer for $20 back on GPay transaction over $200 with virtual number since BHPhotovideo allows Google pay transactions from chrome.

The 3-2-1 backup rule is a data protection strategy that involves creating three copies of your data, storing them on two different types of media, and keeping one copy offsite. This approach provides redundancy and helps safeguard against various data loss scenarios like hardware failure, accidental deletion, or natural disasters.

3 Copies: Maintain three copies of your data: the original and two backups.

2 Different Media: Store these copies on two different types of storage media, such as hard drives, SSDs, or cloud storage. This helps mitigate the risk of a single point of failure affecting all copies.

1 Copy Offsite: Keep one of the backup copies in a separate physical or cloud location, away from your primary storage. This ensures data availability even if your primary location is affected by a disaster or other incident.

No. No single storage is safe and it doesn't matter who makes it. You would use this to create a second copy of your data to keep that data safe or visa versa. Even then, you would need an offsite backup to really be safe.
Best advice in the whole thread.

Quote from Pulvarize63 :
Not the same offer, Discover has another one that they send out on email which specifically states gpay on chrome though it's account specific:
"Get $20 cash back with your virtual card number. Once your Discover® Card is enrolled, spend $200 or more with your virtual card number by 7/30/2025 to earn $20 cash back. Earn $20 Cashback Bonus® when you spend at least $200 on new purchases made using your Discover® Card with a virtual card number. Virtual card numbers can be created and used in Google Chrome browser on desktop or mobile devices, and Android apps, where available. Virtual card number eligible purchases include those made online in Google Chrome browser, or in Android apps, where available, only when virtual card or virtual card number is selected. Virtual card numbers may not be accepted by all merchants. Tapping your mobile device in-store for Google Pay purchases is a different form of payment than virtual cards or virtual card numbers and are not eligible purchases. No activation required. Offer is non-transferable and limited to one offer per Discover account, whether the offer is received from Discover or Google."
Discover sent you an email for the virtual card offer? I have Discover and I don't think I've ever received an email offer from them; is there a place to sign up for it?

I don't trust seagate anymore. Thousands of dollars wasted on shucking 8 TB barracudas for half of them to fail within three years.
I'll never buy them again

This may be obvious, but if you want to follow this advice do not buy two of the same identical products at the same time to mirror your data. If there is a manufacturing issue with the internal HDD you'll likely lose both at a similar time scale.

Actually, you want 3 backups in total, one cloud based.

EXOS are enterprise grade, they are better built. More spare sector and design to run 24/7 easily
