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?
I have ssd’s still in daily use that are like 12 years old. The only hdd’s I use are externals for my data backup though.
