I have a container that can store 20 3.5" hard drives safely and securely and i personally don't plan to get a NAS or some sort of device to have them constantly on or on most of the time as a lot of people do.

So instead I plan to just put them into a dock to read and write when needed and place them back into the container and half of the hard drives will be copies of the other half just in case something happens to the main 10.Also I plan to expand the amount I have over time but currently I have the capacity to store 20 hard drives.

I would like to know if this is something reasonable to do and isn't generally a bad thing to do for long term and large amount of data storage.
