I keep hearing people say that hard drives won’t last long and to always have backups. But if it is like that, that means you would have to be buying drives consistently? Has anyone ever had a hard drive work for them successfully for a decade or even more where they wouldn’t have to be buying more?
My oldest HDD in my main tower now has 40k Power on Hours and around 5k power on cycles, i think it’s around 15 years old
