Hello, I am looking at storing some important files (likely a few gbs), I have a few hard drives, just wondering what the best solution would be? I saw that hard drives last 5 - 10 years, I don’t know what that means in terms of actually storage (I occasionally plug them in to transfer stuff), should I be looking at getting a few more to swap things over and as back ups or is that pointless?

I am concerned about loosing these files and don’t think a cloud based solution would be right for me (due to the price).
