Hello. I'm looking for a temporary storage solution to hold my media until I can afford a NAS (Several years later. At least 4-5 years)
So far, I own this 3.5" HDD Enclosure, so I was thinking of buying a hard drive to put it in and use that as my temporary storage. For that, I was thinking about buying this drive as it's a great price for the storage size and I hear that Seagate Recertified is pretty good.
So my questions are:
- Is my current idea a good one? (For the price / How reliable it'd be) - Can I trust this to keep my data safe for the holdover period (4-5 years est) until I get a NAS? I'd be keeping that drive in the enclosure the entire time.
- If not, why and what recommendations would you have instead?
Any/all feedback or recommendations is very appreciated. Thank you!
