Most likely limited to Seagate IronWolf series? the models are listed on website.
For data backup, Windows 10 provide some protections like File History, which existed since W7 era, System Restore and Software RAID(within Disk Management), Storage Space, ect...
But some of these require multiple drives.
For Cloud you can use google cloud.
TL;DR, local backup are much faster and third party data recovery, unless your time is not critical.
when comes to data recovery it also cover accident like HD drop and etc.But seldom people move around a NAS IronWolf.
If I look at it , it give even more warranty on data.
Lets say the fifth year , then I buy the data recovery , it means anything happen I can still recover the data at the 6th and 7th year.
Isn't it useful ?
3rd party recovery cost a lot and the seagate is free.

only Iron wolf series.
If you are afraid of your data is loss due to HDD failure, buy another HDD as hard backup. Either run as raid 1 or just mirror copy it. 2 HDDs is much safer than trying to buy Data recovery insurance.
Offline back up much safer.
I remember a forum member on raid NAS drive suddenly lightning strike both HDD data gone .
I was hoping for price drop on Cloud backup with a cheaper price but almost few years , it's still the same.Google drive 1TB still $9.99 covert yearly is >RM500
Too expensive.Never have a price drop.I can't find a cheap cloud storage.
The best is to have 3 backup now adays.You don't know what happen if using NAS or something like a sudden flash flood , lightning strikeAll gone.
NAS + Offline + Cloud.Best is NAS link to cloud.
Forgot to ask other questions
1. Those cheaper external hard disk like segate 2TB 2.5 portable , all are solder USB 3.0.How do you guys actually manage to recover the data ?
2. Why does those 2TB 2.5 portable price so much cheaper compare to on 2TB sata. RM 259 portable vs RM 370 for 2TB ?
3. Do you guys buy HDD from online store like laz or shopeee ? Which shop do a the best hard disk packing with extra bubble wrap or better QC ?
