FWIW in July last year Amazon was selling these as low as $320. My biggest fear of a 26 TB HDD is getting all 26 TB of data off of it if I needed it without the drive dying.

As long as you follow the 3-2-1 rule, you don't need to worry about putting your eggs in one basket.

That’s true but more concerned with rebuilding the raid than necessarily losing the data. I have to admit that I’m lazy with backups and I’ve had my ass saved by RAID 6.

It's really difficult/expensive for a home user to do a 3-2-1 backup properly. Especially if you're pushing beyond a few TB.
