@gduperrey The new OpenSSL/SSH blocks existing/working RSA keys from older SSH clients. While you can still use a password for SSH, it will block old keys from working which will break things (not good for existing LTS installs). To maintain compatibility add PubkeyAcceptedAlgorithms +ssh-rsa to /etc/ssh/sshd_config
And to really round this out, the MTBF for any of these is in the millions of hours (1.2-3M), that's a use time of 136.968 - 342.46 years respectively.
Basically, if a drive dies, just replace it no matter what, but in the end the reliability of these drives is meant to outlast all of us.
Unless you actually need some specific function provided in some form-factor or model, don't bother.
