Is this from a region where "Damaged" has another meaning than the usual one?

DHer's favorite: put the hard drives in a NAS!
Store them internally or even better ask your IT? If they don't like USB they won't like more some kind of public cloud or your NAS.
It is good practice to offload photos to a PC, or the cloud, as soon as possible.
Yes, I don't get it when people keep "years of pictures" on cameras, certainly there's even a market for it as I've seen the manufacturers adding more and more mind boggling features in camera, although the navigation is cramped, even if there is a touch screen it's REALLY bad, generally the screens look like they're coming not from this decade or even the previous one, but from the 2000s.
Also it isn't only the storage that's unreliable but cameras get stolen or lost all the time, and then it cuts both ways, not only the data is lost but it's also readily available to anyone who wants to look (and likely it might be a person that doesn't have the best intentions).
I have a 200MB ST9235AG, manual dated 1993 available and ORGASMIC, manufacturers should take note as opposed to what they're doing now, see for example real current consumption graphs at startup (as opposed to now giving some numbers that are just many times higher than the reality and would simply fit any disk they made over the last 2 decades and plan to make for next).
It sounds like a vacuum cleaner even if it's "just" 3449(!) RPM drive and 2.5" (albeit 20mm height!!!). Can't remember if it was doing like that back then or in the meantime the bearings dried up (or whatever is called what the entropy does to hard drive bearings). Still works 100% ok, and it sat from 2001 to 2019 without being powered on.
You should buy drives large enough to clear the "shitty SMR" zone without any penalty on price/TB (that's at least 8TB for WD and 10TB for Seagate). Other than that anything is fine, especially for unraid that treats the disks separately.
Just don't install anything? Should work with any os this side of 2010 without anything extra?
"very nice" with a 4110 Passmark CPU? Seriously, I mean you get 6000+ in some passively cooled tablets from 5+ years ago. That will do only to use it with the most basic RAID, probably with something like ext4 on top of it and to use it as an appliance. If you want ZFS and to run something else too not just to serve some files you'd better build a half-decent reasonable machine.
RAID is for uptime or speed, not for this. It also comes with the dubious feature that you can
lose
your
data
once more
without any disk failures
This question has been asked many times. Have multiple copies, replace bad copies with copies. That's it.
Remind me just about when the last supported Windows 10 version goes out of support. If you look outside our echo chamber already spinning rust is niche technology.
