Hello,

I'm a brand new hoarder. I will be taking a job on a ship that travels in the middle of the ocean with no cellular service and I just found out today that it will have no wifi either. I have a small, 4TB hoard that I really care about, this section of my hoard is backed up on 4 portable external hard drives (3 HDD and 1 SSD) in two different countries. I want to protect this part of the hoard at all costs.

What would you do if you were me? I don't care about accessing this 4TB hoard while I'm on the ship, I just want it to be safe. If i let those disks sit for 10 months, does that increase my risk of corruption? I kinda wanted to set up a NAS but now that I know I won't be able to access it over the internet, I've lost interest. Also, these drives are with my boomer dad and my ex-wife's mom, they'll be safe but i can't have these people looking after a NAS when I'm barely learning about the technology myself.
