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.
I agree, but only if synology wasn't too darn expensive.. At this price, if you have a good internet connection, you can easily get 2 of these and couple that with cloud storage for important documents (after encrypting them) you all should be set, but honestly I wish they had like 10TB drives for $100 each. I'd get 4 of them, 2 sync each other on site, 2 off site.
This is a very good deal for the amount of space you are getting, really insane to think we can get this much space for less than $10/TB. No wonder tech companies can store zettabytes of data and not even care about space, but somehow charge $5/TB per month.

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?
It might need enabling promotional emails from them under account settings>email preferences on the account.

The real question is, is it actually a barracuda as in from a different line or is it an exos with a barracuda label slapped on it. I remember it was either the 22 or 24 had a barracuda label on it but when looking up the serial number of the drive itself it came back as exos

Why are they still using the weird Micro USB-B 3.0 port connector in year 2025? Don't know how to design an external storage with USB-C connector?

They're probably using up existing stock / saving money. Agree they should update this to usb C.

goharddrive has their 20tb MDD (store brand with 5 year warranty) for $200 refurbished. You don't know what you're going to get there, but if you plan on building an array and running each drive through a full test cycle you get cheaper tb/$ and a longer warranty. The external 26tb however is perfect for a minipc home server or for your home laptop docking station. Just make sure you follow the 3-2-1 backup strategy. If you're planning to shuck, then I'd only go for this if you really need the storage density and plan to upgrade after 3 years.
