The only downside of drives this big, is that you have to buy two so you maintain backup. I can, but don't want to, imagine loosing 22TB of data to the sands of time.

The one external IS the backup. Unless you're OCD and you need a backup for your backup.

I get that, but people have been saying this forever. 1990- Imagine losing 100mb of data1995-imagine losing 1gb of data2000-Imagine losing 10gb of dataEtc-If it's critical data, you should have 3+ backups of it.

Too bad it's always the seagates at these lowest price points maybe that's why they're at low price points because most people don't want I see it when they can buy a Western digital.

When you have an unraid server and you have two parity drives the largest two drives become your parity and don't even add to your pool size. Ugh. Sometimes it hurts if you buy a vastly larger drive

Can you explain a bit for the data fallback? I already have a primary 14TB backup, I was thinking of using this one (or the 14TB in reverse) as a redundant second drive in case my first Seagate dies. I was just going to do a simple clone for changes.

This could be the 2-1 in the 3-2-1 backup strategy. My main TrueNAS is 6x8 TB drives using ZFS raid-Z2, and then I have a 26 TB drive as an offsite backup on my other TrueNAS at my beach house in Florida, synced over Tailscale rsync.
Could you clarify why? I seen somewhere that while they were branded as barracuda drives, they were still CMR, which I thought would be ok for a server? Would these not be ideal for a unraid plex server?

They are not enterprise drives or drives for NAS use. They have a 1 year warranty and are not rated to run 24/7. Cold storage is really its sole purpose. They might last a couple years in a NAS but no one has been able to really test them as they are essentially new to the market beginning earlier this year.

Right. Because 11 x 4TB is so much more reliable.
