Western Digital DigitalBBGB0060HBK BESN External Drive
Amazon's catalog no longer lists this product (checked 2026-11-02). The name comes from the link HN users posted.
my argument is just to provide redundancy. we do not need additional local redundancy because the data is out there. it would be a problem if my copy or your copy somehow becomes the only copy. then we would be concerned.

this says INR 11,000.00 which is $137.raw 100 would need around 18 so $2500.
i think there can be variations of disk sizes and amazon fluctuations but in cases like these i would have a business buy them because that way input tax of 18% would pass on to the business and conversely to me for lowering the final bill. so, $2118 would be for these drives. same for the server. a tax benefit of 18%.
