Problem: I need to archive some data. Ca 10TB. I am planning to keep the data for 40 years. I don’t need to access them. They just need to exists. Therefore I was gonna buy a single HDD copy all the data over, unplug it and put it in my drawer.

Questions:

Is that a good strategy?
What drives are reliable for this (eg WD purple vs black vs blue etc etc)? Price is relevant but I pay what is necessary.

Context: The data is important to me but my life doesn’t depend on them literally :) I am planning to keep a copy live in my NAS or in a second drive.
