i want to buy a few hard drives for backups.

What is the most reliable option for longetivity? i was looking at the wd ae, which they claim is fit for this purpose, but knowing nothing about hard drives, I wouldnt know if it was a marketing claim…

    Because I live full time off-grid aboard a cruising sailboat. So when i pack things up to ship them for LT storage I want to make damn sure they survive and any trapped moisture won’t mold over on a platter.

    Then I just have it changed out as the storage is in Tampa , Florida US and you can’t be too careful.
