Data Hoarder

We are digital librarians. Among us are represented the various reasons to keep data -- legal requirements, competitive requirements, uncertainty of permanence of cloud services, distaste for transmitting your data externally (e.g. government or corporate espionage), cultural and familial archivists, internet collapse preppers, and people who do it themselves so they're sure it's done right. Everyone has their reasons for curating the data they have decided to keep (either forever or For A Damn Long Time (tm) ). Along the way we have sought out like-minded individuals to exchange strategies, war stories, and cautionary tales of failures.

I have been using an 8 tb external for my home lab for a year and a half now and am wanting to expand. I have been thinking of getting a usb c/3.1 hard drive rack and just buying a pallet of 20 4 tb used hard drives and stress testing all of them until i get a solid 10 or so that dont fair under stress testing. Does anyone have a solution? I was thinking e waste recycling plants or amazon liquidation warehouses but I don't know where to start. Thank you.
