The advice this guy gives is far from ideal:
First, when drive fails, it often doesn't tell you right away. If you rsync --delete , there is high chance your deletions would copy. Same goes for corruption.
Second, keeping drive with potentially private data unencrypted is a liability. Especially offsite. Someone will steal it and all your private stuff is out. I am not even considering case when you store crypto on said PC

You have to weigh your threats.
