Why don't you have 18TB of storage, Jow Forums?

is that cgi? ew

Keep on trying, SSDcuck

Yes

What are you, poor?

That's a U.2 SSD m8, 3GB+ read/write with almost 1 million read IOPS. What can a HDD do again, like 100 read IOPS?

Are you fucking retarded? For 2600 I can get 4 18TB drives which is much more capacity than 15TB SSD cuck

not even an issue.
The thing is, why would you pay over 2500 USD for no longevity? That ssd will probably last 5 years tops. The HDD is forever.

>30,000+ TB WRITE endurance lifespan
>5 years

I've been waiting for prices to drop even further.

Too expensive

I'm hoping 4TB prices will drop soon

>18TB
Still not enough for my porn

We're already at 10¢/GB on fucking NVME drives as of right now. The 128-layer 3D TLC NAND war is about to begin soon. I would not be surprised at all if 2TB mSD cards hit $200 and 2TB NVME drives hit $100.

I have 40TB

2TB ones are still the cheapest per TB so I buy those

>Spotify and video streaming makes 18TB of data seem excessive
Only if you're a dumb zoomer.

Even if you store video locally what's stopping you from converting it to 10-bit precision HEVC using the fast preset and a CRF value of 16/22 overnight? Cheap octa-core processors like the 1700X can do 1080p of that around 30 FPS. That's ~8 hours of video content per night.

>muh UREs
whatever dweeb

Because I have data center up yo mama's ass.

>Imagine the rebuild times in raid 5/6 for these puppies.
>what raid should they use?
You should never use anything other than RAID 1 on SMR drives

>Never use raid 5/6 on drives larger than 1TB.
nigga wat?
People do it all the time. Just don't use SMR drivers for RAID 5/6.

Bandwidth and IOPS mean absolutely nothing for media storage.

Okay I'll buy a quarter as much SSD storage for the same price and encode all my videos to a lower quality format to compensate. That seems like a completely sensible thing to do.

Anyone got advice on external multiple drive bays? My media server is a tower right now thats full on internal slots but has an esata port, looking to do something with it.

Hijacking thread to ask are WD mybooks reliable? Read some Amazon reviews that suggest they aren't. Also recommend external hard drives thank ya

They are as reliable as any other external hard drive. The Amazon reviews are mostly retards dropping or shaking their hard drives and wondering why they don't work.

True but spinning rust tends to have higher failure rates every year that goes by due to mechanical wear and tear. On SSDs high end stuff tends to have 1-2% controller failures else the rest will outlive you.

>lower quality
>10-bit precision
>CRF 16
I mean no fucking duh but can you actually tell the difference? Or are you part of the audiofool demographic that think you NEED $100,000 audio equipment and 192KHz 32-bit lossless audio?

Here's hoping some cheap 10 or so terabyte enterprise throwouts show up when the upgrades start.

I've got a few shucks from them in my nas, they haven't given me trouble for the six months I've had them.

50% occupancy or less

You're going to have a backup no matter what kind of drive you use if you care about your data at all. Drive failures are only a cost in time and money in that case. You would have to have each drive fail 3 times for the cost to add up to the price of SSDs. By the time that happens current hard drives will be long out of date and you'll be able to buy 50TB SSDs for cheap. It's clearly lower TCO both in the short and long term.

fewer than 50%
