I bought an extra 12 TB drive almost two years ago to keep as a cold spare. Just found it in the closet, still sealed. So the warranty has been ticking away and I don't even know if the thing works.

I'll test this one now, but I'm starting to think keeping a spare drive was pointless when I can get one delivered in a day or two. Anyone here actually keep cold spares at home for years?
