We are digital librarians. Among us are represented the various reasons to keep data -- legal requirements, competitive requirements, uncertainty of permanence of cloud services, distaste for transmitting your data externally (e.g. government or corporate espionage), cultural and familial archivists, internet collapse preppers, and people who do it themselves so they're sure it's done right. Everyone has their reasons for curating the data they have decided to keep (either forever or For A Damn Long Time (tm) ). Along the way we have sought out like-minded individuals to exchange strategies, war stories, and cautionary tales of failures.

They never did make SSDs.
"Most of its SSDs use WD branding rather than SanDisk branding, but it's still SanDisk at its core. As part of this move, SanDisk will effectively revert to its pre-acquisition state, which means that WD's current lineup of SSDs should still exist with SanDisk branding, while WD will continue selling spinning hard drives only."
I was gonna say, "Aren't WD SSDs just white label versions of other manufacturers?". Turns out, yes.
