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.

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.

Is the Payboo card worth it? Says they will refund the tax so anywhere from 4-10% depending on your state.

If my samsung promo credit hits from that botched q990d sound bar cancelled order and raising a stink with the BBB/FTC/State AG/etc, I should have enough for a 4TB 990 Pro NVME drive for about $10.
30 TB of storage for $83 after tax. LET'S GO!
I hate how frugal B&H Photo are, no cashback sites work. OH WELLS.
If you have the Citi Rewards+ card it adds two years of warranty to your purchase at no cost. One of the few cards that still offers +2 years of warranty coverage.
I say all this because of the "bombers" in these threads are always looking for ways to give "thumbs down" for any post they don't agree with 100 percent. Slickdeals in the past NEVER had thumbs up and thumbs down for individual posts , so we all were EQUAL, and we just gave our experience. With the "bombers" that really are trying to ruin Slckdeals (I have told them to change their policy on this, but I guess they like the "bombers".
So my current way is just to plug this drive in when I am backing up stuff or transferring stuff to SSD/nvme/Thumb drive/microSD card/smartphone. Then turn the drive off and unplug it. Doing this will put very few hours on drive. So should last 10-20 years. Many of us have advanced to much faster methods of accessing our data.
DATA Centers and NAS's /DAS's might be turned on 24/7, which in the past I did use. Also, I do put copies of my stuff on other media, so I don't get too upset if one backup "stops working". Peace of Mind. I do use my DAS/NAS/portable 5TB portables the same way I use the drive in this thread... turn on for a few minutes and then turn off.
