Data Hoarder

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.

Western Digital bought SanDisk in 2016.

Western Digital will split into two companies near the second half of 2024:

  1. Western Digital
  2. SanDisk

Western will focus on HardDrives.

SanDisk will continue working on SSD's like it did before being bought by Western.
