The challenge

Hard drives are widely used across industries for storing valuable digital assets. However, they are not designed for long-term storage and are prone to failure. Research shows that hard drives can fail within the first six years, putting your critical data at significant risk. Whether you are a production studio, corporate archive, or a private collector, the integrity of your digital assets is crucial for your operations and legacy.

The impact

When hard drives fail, the impact can be devastating. You risk losing irreplaceable data, which could include everything from historical records and creative works to business-critical information. This loss not only affects current projects but can also hinder future endeavors, leading to operational disruptions and financial loss.
