>that time in 2012 when I bought like 4 seagate 3TB drives
Only 1 still around all these years later, of course seeing as it's proved itself and become the fucked up seagate Champion I now keep all of my important non-mirrored data on there.

Absolutely. This shit just died on me barely 6 months past warranty. Le WD Red reliability meme.

I went to that computer history museum in Mountain View, CA and saw the IBM 305 RAMAC functioning live in person. There were a couple techs working on it. Neat to see the old pneumatic arm go up and down on a rail, and then it would extend in and out. This all took seconds to access data. SECONDS!
It definitely made a lot of clicks

ALL HDDs will die. Accept it and deal with it. Create backups.

Everything important is backed up to multiple locations, but I put a lot of installers and downloaded stuff on there for convenience. No point in backing THAT up, but still annoying if the drive just dies. I've rarely had anything die on me so maybe I was just lucky.

>still annoying if the drive just dies
But that's unfortunately exactly what they do they just die. If that annoys you you should put it on a RAID6. You may still lose the data but at least no single drive crash will bother you.
