I have a bunch of 3.5” external spinning hard drives, which are about 5 years at this point. Contrary to internet legends that that’s a recipe for data loss and really they should be in a NAS checking their integrity 24/7, they exhibit no data corruption whatsoever. (I do verify that periodically.)
