do you encrypt them?

Im curious on why you are using zfs snapshots? (i never used them myself as I handle my backups with duplicity)

exciting but def not for me :)

i agree… but Im trying to find out if the chances of this shit happening is lower with specific hdds

if its sealed airtight why do you need to replace them every 6 months?

thats a good advice though… to match my paranoia levels I would add a fireproof + faraday box

i few drives that I have are 10yod and a couple more 5+…

do modern drives meant to last and be replaced every a couple of years?

I dont mind if a drive fails because ill have dupes… what I want is to minimize the failures.

wd red+ and wd ae make look promising but i dont have an experience with them

I think ‘sar’ is a good candidate for cpu, memory and network data?
