yeah, you certainly can spend more and get better, but most media consumers don’t actually care about long term storage like that.
i only know the pricing on those drives because i just had to replace one in a nas device. i only spent money on a nas device because i work in media and need to keep large files for clients. i follow a 3-2-1 backup system because my job depends on it, but it’s not at all necessary to enjoy media.
Good advice, except that’s not a long term storage. Bit corruption is a thing.
