i want to buy a few hard drives for backups.

What is the most reliable option for longetivity? i was looking at the wd ae, which they claim is fit for this purpose, but knowing nothing about hard drives, I wouldnt know if it was a marketing claim…

    Doesn’t matter what drives are “meant” to do: shit happens.

    The only real insurance against data loss is duplication.
