What does Jow Forums do with old harddrives? I upgraded my NAS and now have a few 4TB drives just gathering dust on my shelf

What does Jow Forums do with old harddrives...

4TB is still quite big. With a nice set of those you could have a second NAS to store even more weeb trash inside.

Howd you make a thread without a picture

I have 12 3TB drives in service. I need more space but I'm not sure how I'm gonna proceed because of fucking ZFS and its goddamned immutable vdevs. I think I'm just gonna decide to trust Btrfs after the fixes that went into recent kernels. I'm probably gonna keep all those drives running (except for one I don't really trust) so I can have the extra room.
I have a few important things backed up on older, smaller drives.

How do you have your drives set up? I assume some RAID-Z shenanigans which I'd like to know more about since the most I use is mirror
Jackson Gonzalez
Nope, no RAIDZ, six mirror vdevs. a big part of that was because I didn't have all of them at once. I had to put some in the pool, copy over data from my existing 3TB drives, then add those drives to the pool. later on I needed to expand and just added two more vdevs.
supposedly in ZoL 0.8 we're getting the ability to remove mirror vdevs (though as far as I know there still won't be an equivalent to btrfs balance), so I'll have an easier off-ramp. A lot of ZFS people really like mirrors over parity raid for performance reasons, but I'd much rather sacrifice some speed to gain better space efficiency and the ability to withstand the death of two arbitrary drives, instead of having to hope that the other side of one particular mirror vdev is all okay in the event of a drive death.
granted all of my problems with ZFS could be solved by throwing money at it. but that'd require more money than I can bring to bear.

What do you even do with so much storage? I find myself wiping my drives almost bi-yearly. I intentionally make sure that I can recover even if my drives are wiped at this moment. I don't think I would be able to deal with that kind of digital clutter.
Dominic Green
install distros on them
use one drive for one year of storage
dismantle them and play with magnets and cut out ninja stars from the patters

is there any recommended size to buy? was thinking of going big with a 8tb drive or something
Xavier Fisher
This.

get a noose, cringey faggot
Luis James
digital clutter isn't really burdensome if its even minimally organized, it's not like it takes up physical space like real clutter.
lowest price per terabyte. Ideally you want drives of the same size so you can put them in a redundant array of some kind. Then again you're on >windows so I'm not sure if you could migrate as easily. idk if windows software raid will do the online reshapes that mdadm and btrfs will.
here you go
I guarantee that this is a genuine rare Akarin
