My experience with rotating 3 disks (one offsite, another being used,
one waiting onsite to be used, so only one is ever in transit and at
least one is on site and one off site) was that hard disks don't like
to be transported much unless they are solid state or laptop drives
(and even they have limits).  3.5" drives rately lasted a year with
being rotated once per week.
