>he will not partition us
Carter Hughes
just 1, why would you split it
Tyler Long
idk a lot of people prefer to have several HDD instead of 2 of high capacity
Connor Cook
RAID 0
Jack Bailey
if you want 2 places to put things, use folders
Jace Kelly
le this makes me so mad xD le 1234 me me

>He doesn't just use ZFS so he can split them into 2 different logical volumes without needing to choose sizes for each one, on top of all the other advantages

2 drives gives more redundancy at the cost of more noise, vibration and space used.
James Lopez
Do you mean partitions?
Hard disk drives describes the physical unit.
Short answer: 2x2tb partitions - that way it can be read by your tv so you can store all the tv and movies on it that you want.
Connor Lee
Unless you are a caselet that can't even put more than 2HDDs, just brought 2HDDs instead.
Dominic Peterson
Also, you halve the chance of losing all yopur data with a HDD failure; only one partition may be affected.
Jason Turner
You'll need to backup both of them anyways
Leo Bell
Why would you ever partition other than to use different file systems? Thrashing two partitions on a single drive drops down the speed to shit.
Ayden Gomez
Doesn't matter if you have backups, whichever is more economical.
You do have backups, right?
Levi Walker
Of course. 1-2-3 rule. Orig, local copy, offsite copy.

I remember back in the 90's partitioning "large" HDDs. I can't remember the exact reason though. Maybe I had some superstition about windows partitions being too large. I guess back then HDDs were in the 500 to 1000 MB range?
Then only reason I partition HDDs now is because I dual boot.

Not having different OS's installed on separate ssd's and /home or data stored separately again.
Liam Foster
>folders
James Smith
1 (one) x 10TB HDD
Cooper Bennett
Is that the one where he never backed up and had to replace the whole raid config and lose all his data?
Nolan Reed
Underrated.
Jack Baker
2x2 TB is inconvenient and it's more likely that at least one of the disks will fail.
Because they use RAID.
Not in OP's case.
OP is most likely talking about an internal HDD, how the fuck is a TV going to read that?
If you have backups then why do you care whether you lose all or only part of the data on the original disk?

Guys is this a meeting of the Jow Forumsay tech club?
Eli Gutierrez
8TB on 1, 4TB on another.
