I read online on various websites that hard disks only live for 3-5 years, at max 10 years.
I have been taking backups in one Seagate 2TB hard disk for 5 years now. Does this mean I may lose my data because the disk may die anytime soon?
What are my other alternatives? Do I keep buying a hard disk every few years to keep my data safe?
I do not like storing my data on cloud due to latency issues. I prefer access to data directly when I need it.
