great thread

>one drive fails
>lose 16tb of data at the time

Not saying buy Seagate, but buy them in pairs

Because it's fucking expensive

What for?

This

because i have 26TB and it'll be enough for a couple more years at least

>he buys 16 1TB hard drives

>buy 4 4tb hdd
>use a NAS
>raid 0 config
>runs faster than that piece of shit and now you have a NAS
Why do these exist? They will just fail and lose 16tb of data.

I no longer download and watch CoalGirls.

And what the fuck would i store in them?

How much?
Raid 0,.
If one drive fail, you lose everything..

anime, bideo games, etc

because 4x4tb is 200$ cheaper

>seagate
yikes!

i do just not one one easy to fail drive

don't put your oats in one basket

Its the exact same with the 16tb single drive except its slower.

except that with 4 drives the chance of premature failure is quadrupled

>not having 32 HDD slots

Why do I need so much space when I have the Cloud™

And an eighth as expensive to replace.
Pros outweigh the cons for me.

Nobody fucking needs 16TB in storage. Holy shit what are you guys even saving that you need such a ridiculous amount?

There is no cloud, there is just someone else computer.

porn hoarders

>harddrive
No thanks.

More like 8 2TB SSDs

By downloading tone of music movie, it's possible

True, every time a pedo is caught they have insane amounts of porn. Unless the news have been lying to us about this too, some people just have hundreds of terabytes of porn

So?
SSD?

How mentally deficient do you have to be to not know to buy drives in pairs? Also the basic rule of drives is if you can't afford to buy at least 3 of the drives, you're too poor for said drive and should get smaller capacity.

My server would benefit from it. I have a large and growing physical media collection that I rip and encode myself. Being able to stuff 16TB into the same 3.5" bay as compared to a smaller capacity it amazing. If I got my hands on just 3x 16TB drives I'd be able to replace my 7 drives I have now

*checks DrivePool*
>58TB
*checks pool duplication*
>2x

I think I'll be just fine, guise

What the fuc k are you evens saving?

>Seagate
Nah thanks I prefer to keep my data.

probably something stupid and useless like 4k movies/tv series. unless you have a family or a shit ton of friends you will never watch that shit again.

Porn I can understand, since you often go back and fap to old stuff. I have not seen a single poster on Jow Forums with >20TB storage mention anything interesting.

> The Exos X16 16TB HDD SATA model (ST16000NM001G) has an MSRP of $629

A 16TB HD or the down payment on a $1000 Apple Stand.

Tough call.

That's "Erotica Curators" , my fine fellow.

I haven't even fully used my 4 terabytes.
I save anime on an external drive so it isnt a problem
