I live along the pacific rim and lately all faults have been generating quakes from 4 -7.5 magnitude. Its just a matter of time before the fault in my area generates at least a 7.

I’ve already secured my 2 nas boxes (6 drives total) so it wont fall but the vibration and shake will still be there.

Assuming it hits and my drives survive, should i immediately start replacing disks? Thinking heads would be damaged after the quake
