      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.
