I've got a shitload of media spread across many different hard drives and I want to consolidate, but I'm paranoid of getting a single massive hard drive in case it fails on me
What should I do? I'm sick of splitting between multiple drives

Get 3-2-1 NAS

3 NAS with RAID5, 2 in your place, 1 offsite (parents)

>>107905396
Buy two massive HDDs and make a duplicate

I feel you, brother. I'm currently switching around a bunch of my PC hardware and setting up a home server with a used low-power optiplex I got for cheap. I have two 8TB drives that are more than enough for what I need. I'm gonna put one in the server PC and backup all the random data from various PCs, craptops, USB sticks, etc I have laying around that I never use. Then I think I'm going to move the other HDD to my backup PC I keep in the living room. Ideally I'll set that one up to automatically sync with the data on the server drive but I'll have to figure out how to do that. I'm tired of everything being so disorganized and all over the place.

If you are paranoid, definitely get 2 drives and have them RAID1.
