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.

I see Seagate, I instantly close the page. Never again.
A Seagate drive with a one year warranty. This is a self-punishment exercise for anybody who buys.
You can return them with the Costco guarantee. I'm surprised no one has mentioned this so far.
Maybe not with some electronics?
Drives are not mentioned in the current electronics exclusions. Major appliances, phones, drones, etc are. I've read the policy a handful of times this year
Wow that's great!
What do you like instead?
Anything
I can't stop your PSU from exploding. I can keep individual hard drive failures from erasing everything.
