Why don't you have a 8TB drive to store all your chinese cartoons?
because anime is for manchildren and im a man
I wanna know the mtbf on those things
and how much they are so I can raid eight of them
>>45440960
2.0M hours according to the spec sheet.
>>45440936
I store French Cartoons on mine
>>45440965
>228.3 years
Cool..
>>45440940
>doesn't like anime
>manchild thinks he's a man
>>45440936
Don't have room for one on my budget right now.
Next month I'll grab something sizable.
Probably just an external
>>45440936
>he doesn't have a 10TB drive
>>45440978
Do tell me where you find that stuff, I've tried the usual "[show name] torrent" shit but have trouble finding more obscure shows.
Is there some underground french-cartoon watching imageboard somewhere I don't know about?
>>45440936
I will once they're on par with other drives for cost/TB, which where I live is around $40/TB.
Till then, even with having to buy extra cards, it's cheaper to go with 3-4TB arrays.
>>45441122
No. But alot of cartoons you watched as a kid might have been French.
>>45440936
Helium drives are shit expensive from the start. I'm sure an 8TB one would cost around $1000 USB
>>45441177
I'm aware, I just wish it'd be easier to download 50 different shows in a matter of minutes lite it is for western/Japanese stuff.
>>45441177
Alex best girl.

fuckoff manchild
>>45440936
because higher capacity platters are prone to issues
>>45440936
Will one of these be quieter than four single platter WD blacks?
>>45442782
not exactly, two lower capacity drives will result in a higher chance of data loss
>>45440936
I've conditioned myself to avoid drives with loads of separate heads and platters. More moving parts = greater chance of failure and I don't really want to fill a drive with 8TB worth of content and then it dies on me.
I'd rather get 8x1TB drives. A lot less likely to fail when you only have one platter and one head. I'm hoping single platter 2TB+ drives hit the market soon if they haven't already. It doesn't seem like we've been making big strides in storage density as of late, we're just adding more platters.
>>45442890
except you dont understand that more capacity equals more chance for bit errors
>>45442940
This is why you buy two of everything. Most enterprise quality drives have long warranties.
>>45442975
>enterprise quality
what would you reccomend? Are the warranties really worth it. I've had regular drives running well for years. How long does a enterprise warranty cover their stuff for?
>mfw air-breathers rationalizing their tiny anime collections
http://techreport.com/news/27031/shingled-platters-breathe-helium-inside-hgst-10tb-hard-drive
>>45442994
It depends. WD's warranties are like 5 years for Se and Re drives. Seagate has 4 year on their Constellation drives.
>>45443115
My anime collection is one whole terabyte.
>>45443115
The only anime show people need is bobobo

get your weeb talk out of here kiddo
>>45441122
tf11.me is a french torrent site that might have some stuff
though in French usually
Too expensive. I run 6TB ones.

>complaining about weebs on a weeb board
fuckoff retard
>>45440936
Because I just plain don't need that much space for all my Peruvian pornos. I can see where 8TB HDDs could be really useful for minimizing physical server size, but I really just don't have a reason to get one unless I decide to start hoarding 1080p media.
Ever look into tape drives? Those 120 TB tapes?
>>45443496
What if you like to access your files?
>>45443540
Then access it?
>>45443540
You actually rewatch animus?
II just hoard it.
>>45443402
But this isn't an anime board. This is for technology. Maybe you should sort out your life mate.
>>45443691
that's why every second image and banner is weeb shit right. Fuckoff newfaggot
>>45440940
Kek'd but felt insulted. Mixed feelings bro.

That's their problem.

Who does that?

>implying weebs are meant to be segregated here as if this was faggit or some other cancerous equivalent
like I said, fuckoff newfaggot
I have 8 Drives, but only 13TB.
Largest is a 2TB.
Once the prices drop on larger ones Ill buy into it.
>>45443773
>making 4chan shittier than it already is
Good going kid. I bet you also ditch during your lunch at high school every day.

pleb pls
>>45443907
Leddit is a thousand times more vile and edgelord than any of our boards.
How long does a HDD typically last anyways?
>>45443973
The likelihood of two drives dying at the same time is slim.
>>45444022
depends on application and its corresponding r/w stress
tldr hard to say
How does adding helium to a HDD allow for more storage?
Aren't they still just platters?
>>45440978
Is there anything else from the land of croissants that is as good as Wakfu? Only other French show I can think of is Code Lyoko and the gap in quality is pretty big there as well.
Can this HDD float?
>>45444043
Go and ask google, not us.
Yes, they are still just platters.
4TB SSDs already exist
6TB SSDs come out next year
8-10SSDs come in 2016
Mechanical storage is deprecated
>>45444438
my wallet is depreciated
>>45444520
Sandisk has $170 1TB PCIE SSD roadmapped at the end of 2015. It's shitty nand. But hey it's still cheap.
Mechanical storage is a dead technology:
It's too hot, too slow, too loud, too big, too unreliable and too power hungry for the cloud.
>>45444622
>Mechanical storage is a dead technology
and yet its still expensive and most servers still rely on your typical enterprise hdd
Its too soon to declare it dead
>muh cloud
buzzword, you think cloud services can afford to hand out ssd storage. Even ssd vps are expensive. We're still a while away from ssd takeover
>>45444043
In usual hard drives, the gas inside is air. Just regular air. With bits filtered out but it's just air.
Helium is lighter than air. It's less dense, so that platters can be put closer together since there's less air resistance when spinning and crap like that.
They can't make it without zero gas because the gas is part of how it works- it's there because there needs to be a small gap between platter and reading head, and the gap has gas molecules in it.
Anyway, short answer is it's less dense. Like how moving through custard is harder than water.
>>45444659
SSDs pay for themselves in cooling costs and space.

I had no idea these shows were french. I used to watch that shit on Cartoon Network after school. I recall watching Code Lyoko being like getting repeatedly punched in the dick. That show was terrible.
>>45440978
>mfw I have a 148gb BDremux version of wakfu with 5 dubs and 13 subs
TechReport has independently tested their 256GB 840 Pro to 1.5PB while only losing 50GB worth of cells. That type of endurance for a drive that small is incredible. A 512GB or 1TB drive could withstand that much more. The 850 Pro line with its 3D NAND has endurance a magnitude higher than this with a 128GB drive being tested to 8PB.
Mechanical storage has not a single tangible benefit over an SSD any more. Endurance just isn't a concern, and anyone citing the limited lifespan of NAND storage is a FUD spreading shill.
>>45446574
5GB*
>The burn rate has slowed slightly since the initial uptick, but over 3400 sectors have been compromised so far. At 1.5MB each, that's about 5GB of flash lost to cell degradation.

>>45446962
Along with a bit of music, about 40 various TV shows and movies is taking up half of my main drive which is 1TB. If I saved everything I watched I easily would have filled it up multiple times over by now.
8TB for archiving videos wouldn't be enough for high resolution/high bit rate content.
>>45447045
>tfw 400GB of content
>1.5TB of porn
Although that's getting pretty easy nowadays with 4k kicking about. 6GB 30 minute pornos man.
How the fuck is anyone supposed to store that
>>45447053
A NAS with a ton of volumes, also ever increasing storage density.

I dont watch anime because I'm 22, in shape, have a fiancé and I have a job.
Anime is for teenagers or neckbeard virgins.
And to piss you off even more I use windows 8.1 and Google chrome.

Hello, I'm also rich and have sex everyday.. with girls. And I drive a Ferrari with 2000bhp.
Unlike everyone on 4chan, i'm obviously superior because I said so. U MAD FGS XDXD?
>one 8TB drive
>when it fails you lose it all
sounds terrible, i won't even buy the 4TB WD drives because of the negative reviews
comparatively i've never had the 2TB variant die, and now I have 6 or so with a few 1TBs thrown in too
if I lose one it's a small portion of my media collection that I can replace
>>45447735
>implying a sane person doesn't backup his important data
SSDs don't fail at the rate that mechanical drives do anyway. You never have to worry about a motor dying during spin up.

Don't worry, the universe is full of the stuff. Its not like we could ever exhaust our supply on something like party balloons...

I'm not rich, and I wouldn't want a Ferrari even if I was.
I don't even know why you replied, you react strangely to a comment not directed directly towards you.

Ok mate, calm down with those memes, you might take someones eye out.

Yeah, it won't catch on, the difference of $9000 will probably be negligible to most people.
