Thought there was a computer thread but couldn’t find it so will ask here.
For my archive /back-ups I use a couple of Cal-digit drives with a removable drive tray which i usually fit whatever drives are getting good failure rates on Backblaze and will order from 2 separate brands/models. these are ‘enterprise’ drives such as this:

These are designed for raid systems but i just use them as JBOD and will then take the caddy out once i’m done with them and put them in storage and occasionally refit if i need to access a file.
I presume there’s nothing fundamentally wrong with using this type of drive? I use a Mac if that makes any difference.
Edit, i’ll take this to the PC tech thread
