Keep in mind data recovery vs drive size. Getting past ~16TB drives, it starts to become a question of whether the rest would be able to survive a restore of a failed drive if any are going to have remotely similar endurance. Obviously, the answer is going to be "yes" most of the time, but at a certain point, there are deminishing returns on the cost of the drives to where even a one to one price increase in the HDD per size might not be worth it all the same.

Kinda' a moot point if you're not going to raid them in any way for reliability, but worth a thought.

I've described this terribly, but Level1tech on YT talks about it sometimes in reviews.

This is me when I'm trying to be helpful after a full day of coding and my 2nd dose of Adderall has worn off. props for still telling him a brief overview along with where to find the info

[–] CucumberFetish@lemm.ee 6 points 10 months ago (1 children)

What's wrong with their comment? Straight to the point, no unnecessary info.

[–] Cinner@lemmy.world 3 points 10 months ago* (last edited 10 months ago) (1 children)

There's nothing wrong with it at all. That's why I gave them props for still giving all necessary info because search engines are a shitshow for things now. They just seemed like they were mentally drained but still trying to help I thought that was cool. Also possibly/probably projection on my part.

I was mainly basing it off of the quick rundown no unnecessary info and them saying that they described it terribly. I was just relating to it yesterday after I got off work and was drained.

Hopefully you're filled now, I am! As a fellow developer, I totally got your comment.

Rebuild time? Yeah it'll take about that long.

[–] db2@lemmy.world 44 points 10 months ago (1 children)

So you mean like literal piracy, you heisted them?

[–] cali_ash@lemmy.wtf 78 points 10 months ago (1 children)

Yes, it was a chinese container ship. Resistance would have been futile.

[–] Waluigis_Talking_Buttplug@lemmy.world 10 points 10 months ago (1 children)

The guys making $32 a day on Chinese ships don't get paid enough to care, that's why it's so easy to smuggle stuff to begin with.

[–] Cinner@lemmy.world 13 points 10 months ago (1 children)

for snuggling it's not the being on the ship that's the hard part, it's what happens at the port before it's loaded and after at the port it's unloading at.

[–] SchizoDenji@lemm.ee 13 points 10 months ago (1 children)

I want to snuggle too

Sooo... Are you actually using the data that's going on these or is this more of a hoarding situation?

[–] cali_ash@lemmy.wtf 139 points 10 months ago (5 children)

What does "using" mean? It's definitly a hoarding situation. I mostly store TV shows and movies. But I only watch a tiny fraction of them.

It's not hoarding ... I'm actually archiving. Or something you tell yourself. Shut up, I don't need a reason. I don't have a Problem, leave me alone.

[–] DadVolante@sh.itjust.works 42 points 10 months ago

This guy archives

[–] kelseybcool@lemmy.world 23 points 10 months ago

You're among friends here.

The meeting is on Tuesday nights at 5.

Oh it's not DA.. (data anonymous) it's the local sneakerNet for doing old school swaps.

Being a snack!

[–] Norgur@kbin.social 9 points 10 months ago

It's okay, dear! Just breathe! You'll be fine! Maybe there is some porn you'd like to watch among your data hoard? Violently masturbating might bring you down again, honey!

[–] Dragster39@feddit.de 5 points 10 months ago

The archive must grow

[–] bruhduh@lemmy.world 8 points 10 months ago* (last edited 10 months ago)

Probably personal archive of games/movies/porn and backups, I'd do this if i got this honestly, and i think most of us would do the same, slap some block based deduplication and zstd compression and enjoy

[–] devfuuu@lemmy.world 4 points 10 months ago

Yes.

[–] jj122@lemmings.world 24 points 10 months ago (3 children)

I just got 2 of these (x22 version) for my Jellyfin. Supposed to be here tomorrow! I don't think I could drop $1k for that many.

[–] Ramenator@lemmy.world 10 points 10 months ago

If I could actually get those for 1000$ I would do that. Just spent 260€ for a new 16tb one...

[–] chimasterflex@lemmy.world 5 points 10 months ago

Same except 4 of them. I ended up buying from serverpartsdeals though. recertified for $210 each. Had a small hiccup on my first batch but they came in quick and made it right. Now all my useless data has a home

[–] cali_ash@lemmy.wtf 4 points 10 months ago

I don’t think I could drop $1k for that many.

I wish I could have ... storage is apprently way cheaper in the US.

[–] User79185@discuss.tchncs.de 15 points 10 months ago (1 children)

I kinda expected nsfw ai generated pic of Santa ...

Super jealous. Half for storage and half for backup or just going all storage?

[–] cali_ash@lemmy.wtf 18 points 10 months ago* (last edited 10 months ago) (3 children)

The idea is going for raid5 so that should be around 100TB of storage, minus the OS and apps, etcs. But easily 80TB+ net storage.

[–] BrownianMotion@lemmy.dbzer0.com 17 points 10 months ago

With drives that size, you should be talking RAID6, 80TB storage and 40TB checksum.

Rebuilds will take a long time, and with RAID6 you can at least suffer 2 drives failures and continue to operate fully.

[–] zib@kbin.social 13 points 10 months ago (3 children)

I use a 1tb ssd for the os/apps with my raid5 strictly for storage. Kinda nice if the os needs to be reinstalled or I want to migrate the raid cluster.

With that amount of storage I highly recommend RAID6.

[–] fxt_ryknow@lemmy.world 5 points 10 months ago (2 children)

I'd do a pool with 2x vdevs, each with three drives in raidz1

So…anywhere to get a bulk deal on these, preferably in a pack of 6?

[–] cali_ash@lemmy.wtf 17 points 10 months ago* (last edited 10 months ago) (2 children)

I work at an IT company and we regularly supply hardware to clients. So I got these at B2B retail prices. My boss basically just handed me the bill the supplier issued to the company and said "you pay it".

[–] BlackSkinnedJew@lemmynsfw.com 8 points 10 months ago* (last edited 10 months ago) (1 children)

How much did you paid for each?

40tb of santa cumming? Wow

[–] jenny_ball@lemmy.world 17 points 10 months ago

more like 120tb. and wow indeed!

[–] key@lemmy.keychat.org 4 points 10 months ago

There's 6 of them

[–] Kolanaki@yiffit.net 7 points 10 months ago (1 children)

Are these hard drives or the beefiest SSDs I've ever seen?

[–] cali_ash@lemmy.wtf 15 points 10 months ago (5 children)

I don't think 20TB SSDs exist, and if they do I probably couldn't afford one in a few hundred years.

[–] Nightweb@lemm.ee 17 points 10 months ago (3 children)
[–] GreatBlueHeron@lemmy.ca 4 points 10 months ago

That was nearly 6 years ago!

[–] SkyezOpen@lemmy.world 4 points 10 months ago

16 grand for the 64TB. The 100 just says "special order" for the price.

[–] rug_burn@sh.itjust.works 3 points 10 months ago

For the person who just can't part with anything.....

[–] kylian0087@lemmy.world 5 points 10 months ago (1 children)
[–] hellequin67@lemm.ee 5 points 10 months ago

€4200 with tax (give or take)

What about using these as Storj nodes?
