Buying two of the same exact drive to use one as a backup for the other is never recommended (not including RAID+1 in this).
What if both drives had some fatal flaw that doesn't show up until...

Yup, most decent laptops with HDDs were shipping with fall/G sensors to protect mechanical drives. At this point though, SSDs are more common so it isn't really necessary.

Honest question - what does Bluetooth have to do with the physical location of an external drive? You aren't transferring multiple gigabytes of data over Bluetooth unless you're a masochist.

12TB is one huge load of data. If you are going to stuff that much onto an external drive keep one thing in mind. If that drive gets knocked to the floor while powered up, there's a very good chance...

You just helped someone and then yelled at them for asking a question. Thinking about that for a minute. I'd say most SD folks don't want that kind of toxic nonsense.

Huh? Bluetooth is hardly a robust networking protocol to move large blocks of data. It's for earphones and speakers and has very limited range highly subject to interference.
