Use case is long term data storage. I'm a video editor for my day job so I have TB's and TB's of footage, music, movies, roms, you name it. Not using a NAS enclosure system right now, in a few years I may invest but for now I'd like to get a 20TB+ drive to dump ALL my shit onto.

Definitely wanting CMR, probably helium, I don't want to skimp on anything. My biggest concern is picking a drive with the lowest advertised average failure rate. Not brand loyal whatsoever, though I feel very out of my depth having not bought a drive even close to this size in over a decade.

Can I find a drive like this with a SOLID warranty for under $350? I'm very ignorant of the finer details when it comes to performance outside of speed/capacity so please let me know if I'm missing anything.

Thanks folks <3
