    Just don’t put anything important on there without a backup. You never know how good the refurbish is on those.

    I’m eventually gonna set up a proper RAID array with them to prevent data loss.

      Remember RAID is not a backup! RAID is for increasing uptime and only happens to help protect data (in some cases) as a side effect. Make sure you have backups of anything important or irreplaceable on that drive, preferably offsite!

        It’s definitely not going to store anything important - that’s all done by Backblaze.

        It’s more for convenience so that I don’t have to download all my shows again if a drive fails.
