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.

Thats like near statistically impossible. They had to of been failing for some time. IMO
I did a case swap back at the end of 2022, but that's about it. I upgraded to the Fractal Meshify 2 XL, which can hold up to 20 drives, and I had about 8 in there, made sure to give good space. Plus, it's in my basement, and according to HD Sentinel, my drives range anywhere from 27c - 32c.
Prior to the failures, no physical shifts/movement on the case or the drives.
Are you hooked up to UPS power?
