This poor laptop drive was serving me well as a jank storage pool on my Nas for almost 8 years now and today it died.
Edit:
Coasters and fridge magnets acquired

Well, you should be replicating /backing up data regularly anyway.
All data on my mobile devices is synced to a server, which replicates locally to 2 other storage devices, and is backed up to a cloud storage.
I largely use Syncthing for mobile devices (even Windows laptops), so I'm always using a single tool/process (less confusion this way).
Everything in my / (and mounted there) is just rsynced to a simple SSD cluster at /backups, to a larger 3TB HDD cluster on my server, and from there it's .tar.xz'd, encrypted and backed up to Hetzner and Google. The server itself syncs with another server in another state.
UPS + two Internet services (and mobile).
