I cant help it, please help quench my addiction for seeing raw HDD's still in their static wrapper. Recently bought a bunch and cant help but just look at them :)
Why is it so satisfying?

Not my pics, i bought 8 HGST 6TB's. Just stealing them from reddit. Although WD is really not that bad in reliability, blackblaze data.

>Recently bought a bunch
All of these are for your own use? Not bad.
>Why is it so satisfying?
It's a nice useful piece of high tech that will contain information. Which is also much of the same reason why people like books I guess.
>I guess you don't really care about the data right?
As if brand whoring mattered, you just need redundancy.
John Carter
Nah Raid 6 or RAID-Z3 all the way bae.
Jordan Sanchez
Lincoln Sanders
I'd suggest RAID6 or scale-out storage like on MooseFS or Ceph.
RAID10 is usually pretty inefficient.

Why do you need 200TB
Julian Taylor
Why don't you need 200TB?
But really movies, tv shows, digital media..... *cough cough* who knows?

It's only 50TB usable(RAID6), and it's for a business.

>movies, tv shows
Biggest waste of space ever. Why is it that people with large storage arrays always have the most uninteresting data collections. It's either raw recordings for their youtube shit or pirated shows/movies which can be found literally anywhere
Nathan Davis
Christopher Ramirez
Well what do you store? If I find something actually useful, then I would of course download that, but I've only been doing this for a few years so all I can fill it with is movies, sometimes data dumps for neural networks but they take 1TB max.

The actual external design is kinda gay IMO. Of course having those is nice.
>which can be found literally anywhere
But you know, isn't this mainly true because many allocated storage and bw to them? If they did not, these things would become rare(er).
It's maybe not even enough storage to preserve things like pixiv or deviantart or whatever if they go down, main remaining source would probably what's in archive.org. Youtube... no one has that in full, right?
Angel Morris
nice big disks
Wyatt Cooper
>The actual external design is kinda gay IMO
What you talkin about? Its 1000x sexier than 2 or 4 years ago, and even some modern consumer designs. Flat front with big stickers are sexy af.
Thomas Rodriguez
I always get excited seeing hard drives, especially clear, high-res pictures
maybe it's the thought of being able to fill it up with goodies
there's nothing I hate more than seeing ppl with barely filled drives. like 70 GB out of a 1 TB drive for example.
Charles Lopez
eh, they haven't changed much since they shrunk to 3.5"

Definitly. Buying new HDD's is one of the things that makes me the happiest. New car, or a petabyte of storage? ill take the latter.

SSD will replace hard drives on most consumers products, it's only a matter of time. Soon enough buying a hard drive would be like trying to buy a diskette today

I don't know what it is about these Helium filled HGST/WD drives, they have this very nice industrial look to them.

Tyler Thomas
Had to downsize my anime collection to fit on my measly 13TB.
But 4TB+ drives make me nervous. I mean so many moving parts, so many things to go wrong...
Isaac Ross
Have you considered a server user? and running it with RAID in case one of your mechanical bits dies?
Owen Price
I actually do run a server. But it's an old MacPro 1.1 I got from the trash, running game servers for my co-workers and what-not.
Eventually I assume ill move to a media server, but still, larger capacity drives dont fill me with confidence.
Jaxon Peterson
Anyone never had a HDD fails on them? I still have one Maxtor(the one with worse reputation than seagate) from 2006!
Noah Green
Got 3 in my NAS. Love them.
t. not shill
Justin Watson
The only reason to use Seagate drives is if you need SATA I compatibility.
Daniel Gray
My cunt has no access to Enterprise or HGST drives, which ones should I use instead?
Do I go for WD or Seagate?
Connor Cook
>Do I go for WD or Seagate?
WD obviously.
Angel Gray
Even though WD owns HGST.
HGST > WD >>>>>> Shitgate

The only reason to use WD is if your an actual brainlet/underage

Why bother?
Gabriel Wilson
What's wrong with WD Red? They are quality drives.
>RAID 5
That won't save you user. All you need is a single URE during rebuilding of your RAID array and you're fucked. Either that or a second disk failure, since they tend to fail in batches.
This. Use ZFS in RAIDz2 or RAIDz3 if you care about data.
Brandon King
RAID6 on disks that big is asking for a failure to happen during a rebuild, man
Asher Jackson
>all data eventually degrades.
That's the point. People here probably don't care too much about the drives themselves, but about the systems they can put in place with these drives so that they can preserve data that could otherwise be lost.
