Would could any sane person possibly need a 16TB hard drive for...

My xiuren siterip is 8TB alone.

Is there a viable way of ripping 4k bluray?

implying you retard hoarders watch these fucking movies

Probably. I've never actually sought them out. A coworker who has a setup like that said they run about 40-50GB a pop for an average movie in an MKV file.

you might not need something, but when you do that one time, you are glad that you have it locally

I have a decent collection of 4k blurays I'll probably rip in the future.

it's called 'Everything'

A 1080p blu ray remux is about 30GB so you can fit 500 of them in 16TB. If you watch 2 movies a week that's 5 years of archiving. Of course you want redundancy so a more realistic case for 16TB is 2x8TB in RAID 1 so you can cut that in half to 2.5 years of archiving. Add in all the TV and music and porn and video games (you should be saving your pirated video game installers if you ever want to play them again) 16TB isn't an extreme amount of storage. A heavy user could fill it in a year.

I can barely fill 1 TB. What the fuck are you guys doing?

data hoarders store high quality video mostly

>10-20GB
What the fuck? I literally cannot notice the difference between a 4-6GB rip and >10GB much less 20GB. What TV are you watching your movies on to notice that shit?

Is there any modern consumer tape storage?
Just archiving shit. You never know when somwthing becomes lost media.

How long until these enter external hard drives for 1/3 the price of a bare drive?

5GB rips are ugly to me they always have visible compression artifacts at some point. I can't see the difference between a 10GB rip and a remux unless I lean in closer to the screen and look for it though. Some people are more sensitive to it than others. I know people who watch yify rips on limited range and don't know the difference.

Panda backups?

about a decade. SSD will be cheaper than spindle disks by that point.

i like it because it makes 10tb drives cheaper (current standard for shucking wd drives). Since 10tb lasts me about half a year if, and i need 2 (1 for backup) its a good thing.

oh and for reference 13gb of modern video is fucking nothing, like 30 seconds at most.

There is. You need to buy a supported blu-ray drive and downgrade its firmware. Then use makemkv as usual.

/h/ would like a word with you

Once you are on the level of sorting your porn collection by name of girls and have the ability to download a lot you will quickly see how it fills up.

I recently downloaded 800GB of Alexis Texas.

oooh sorry goy, youve used up all of your bandwith for the month. Better reload™ your datapack™
also since youre abusing your bandwidth speeds and affecting other users were gonna have to throttle you from here on out.

the second you do that 20tbs will drop in price in exactly 2 months and youll have yourself for not having a round number capacity.

>have several tb of hentai
>read/watch only the favorites folder with couple of gigs of hentai

>If you watch 2 movies a week
youre new here, arnt you?

in 2019 loosers on the internet binge no less than 5 movies a day or an entire season of a tv series per day, in between gaymen sessions and porn marathons of course.

Hard drives should always be in powers of two though

why the fuck would any of that ever matter

And heres me thinking my 20tb nas isnt big enough and i need 50tb now.

I literally just have movies, tv shows and music on it.

For archiving exhentai

What movies do you even hoard? I find it hard to imagine to keep a collection larger than 25 movies. Most movies just simply aren't worth a rewatch (or frankly a single watch either) especially not form this decade.

Got 2 14TB Hard drives, they run at 70-150 MB/s depending what they copy.
The ironwolves are the loudest drives, whenever you read or write to them they sound like they're dying you can find the noise they make on youtube. I think its the same for the other large seagate drives over 10 TB

Guess you don't like movies as much as some people.

From personal experience 1.5tb 3tb 6tb and all weird odd multiple drives have higher failure rates

Also this is how big my sword art online folder. they're all blurays remuxed with fansubs

If I had the cash to throw away, I'd get 3 of the 16TB models. 2 in a mirror array and a 3rd for backup of the array. As it is I have 2x 2TB, 4x 4TB, and an 8TB as primary backup location in my server. Blu-ray rips, even properly encoded to not noticeably hurt quality are still like 13GB. Space problems will only get worse now that I can rip UHD 4k blurays and those rips are like 65GB.

Why the fuck is Extra Edition not in the "movies" folder?

Personal Sadpanda backups

You only need more than 2TB of HDD space if you're building a server or if you do anything that requires large storage space (like video editing of 4K footage that doesn't get deleted afterwards).

Even then 2TB is only useful if you're gaming and don't want to uninstall and re-install games all the time.

25 movies, shit, i dont even think i could name 25 directors without feeling like id left somebody out super important to me.

Im 100x worse with music. I have to admit, i dont really like much new film and music, everything seems to be 50s-2000's

You're supposed to just swap platters. It takes 10 minutes.

>Most movies just simply aren't worth a rewatch (or frankly a single watch either) especially not form this decade.

I agree with that mostly though, i could probably only name 25 movies since 2000 i actually give a shit about.

Shit is like a clock. last time there was a big rush to release 2 and 4tb drives was when BD and 1080p rips were becoming the norm for scene releases. now UHD is just around the corner 16 and 20 TB drives are hitting the consumer realm. Hopefully there’s enough demand to drive prices down

Porn.

I should clarify though, i dont own a TV and i dont trust streaming services to keep the content i like up forever, so i feel like i should basically have my own collection.

I wouldn't buy a single 16TB HDD but I can at least imagine filling up that much space. I got my 8TB almost full by now.

what's your fucking problem, nigger?

fuck off.

>odd
wot

t. 5TB owner

Cute and funny stuff weights a lot yknow ~

I'd take a few.

Just buy the physical media

I'm guessing the first two are SSDs? You could just buy 2 10TB drives from the looks of it

What do you keep inside Uranus, user?

is this a good deal?

Nobody tell OP about the 40TB SSDs

this

how fucking stupid are you OP?

20TB is odd you fucking retard
also it's 20TB not 20tbs you massive fucking idiot

>Windows user detected
32GB is plenty you fat fuck

10TB is an odd number

I hoard rare films from TV network sources that don't have blu-ray or even DVD releases in some cases. I have lots of old films in 1080 that have come from the Warner and MGM Archives which haven't been released elsewhere. They're mostly obscure (like Elvis films) so not in heavy demand but someone will want them.

Not really. Before Thailand these went for $50. Nowadays if you know where to look you can find them for cheaper. I just picked up a couple for $30 a piece (from a company that does IT refreshes and takes the old hardware to scrub and dispose of).

spinning plastic disks for movies are for retards. this isn't 1998 anymore.

Looking for a 4tb drive, in the uk, hopefully a sale or some shit 80 quid maximum.
Scared 2 of my older drives 8+ years are gonna die on me and don't want to buy second hand, any help?

The price per TB on higher capacity drives can be pretty nice and it's nice to have your own network storage, keeping your data organized in a clean and toght fashion.

Checked, and based base 2 autismo.

I need it!

why do you people keep getting many small hard drives? Just get a 10TB+ hard drive so it makes things easier to manage

super ocd and autism. If you dont have it then you wouldnt understand.

640K ought to be enough for everyone.

rip

Single drive failures are a bitch. Just don't be poor and have multiple large drives in RAID

One 16TB drive no, eight 2TB drives, yes.

In case one fails you only have to replace 1 TB of porn instead of 10 of porn/movies/games/music/etc.

hard drives are way cheaper

But its ten times as likely to have one of your drives fail as opposed to one.
Having more hard drives produces more heat, elecricity and noise

are you sure your memory is good

the overhead with re-obtaining 9TB more media all at once is more of a PITA when mom is paying for your power bill as is the case with most of you autists.

where is Pluto you fuck.

It's the USB stick

you're right. I paid $50 for 2TB back then. but i bought a 4TB external for $80 around that time frame.

you should have redundant backups regardless

>Even just copying 16TB to or from it would take days at current SATA speeds
It would take around 18h at 250MB/s, no?

It might be a bit slower, but it's still not a large issue.

>It would take around 18h at 250MB/s, no?
Can HDDs write that fast these days?

>ur anus

burst but there's no way you get sustained copy at that, especially around the slower parts of the platter. so that's a load of BS. but still filling the disk would take like a day and anyone who takes the time to fill it is likely doing long term archiving anyways. so you basically only have to fill it once

Yea.

See . Even if it's not sustained on "the slower parts of the platter" but more like 230MB/s, it does not change the overall picture much.

Is the secret to seagate resurgence and current ridiculous cache sizes simply just hitachi or something else?
