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.

Anyone know if the current WD ultrastars are made in the factories ex HGST? Or are they just using the brand name after having purchased HGST

With all the drives I have used, only one ultrastar failed me after more than 5y nonstop use

Ultrastar is made where HGST made their drives. Solid work they do.
