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?
Have a Maxtor 250GB external from 2004, but it’s been unplugged since 2008ish only being turned on and used maybe a dozen times since then
