THANKS DOC
thank you doctor
Huh, thought it was black friday only, but it's still available, fuck it, i'll do a year. I'll keep a backup of my anime there just in case, that's almost 4TB.
>>51634381
Thanks doc

No problem guys always glad to help you out.
>>51634381
thanks senpai, wonder how long this'll take.
>>51634498
hey doc got anything stronger?
>>51634381
Should I do it /g/? Also, isn't this buying of drives for the free storage be more economical than paying for the service outright?
>>51634603
just do it the cloud is the future.
>>51634603
Yes. And don't bother encrypting your files before uploading them. That's autist shit.
>>51634855
if you are just uploading weebo and music shit it doesn't matter.
>>51634603
I bought a hard drive crumb amazon yesterday and didn't get this sweet deal
The amazon client is quite basic here is a list of better ones.
>>51634926
It's been awhile
fuck this shit they want 400€ for 1tb in germany any alternatives?
>>51635105
ALDI is selling a 3TB harddisk voor 99euro !!!!

You can make a new amazon.com account with a fake us address but the only payment option is credit card and bank transfer. I ordered mine with a virtual cc from neteller.
>>51635310
lol , folder vandaag ontvangen. weet niet of ik m ga halen .
>>51635404
meestal zitten er van die flut schrijven in dus ik zou hem alleen gebruiken om af en toe data te backupen. als je hem de hele dag aan je pc hangt is die zo kapot. spreek uit ervaring maar laat mijn pc wel 24/7 aan staan.
>>51635442
ja zoiets had ik wel een beetje verwacht , ik d8 ook meer om wat troep erop (pc wat ruimte geven) te gooien dan uitzetten. effe verder kijke wat erin zit ..
I'm pretty wary of cloud services. Can't they snoop on whatever you upload? You're pretty much making the contents of your hardware public knowledge.
>>51635666
encrypt before uploading
>>51635666
you can encrypt it before
>>51635396
can this be detected? getting your account terminated would really suck
Will backbaze steal my data?
and what is a good way to encrypt? I already have bitlocker, but it works on drive level

The whole point of this deal is that you're fucked when the year is over and you will end up paying for it. Google does this with Drive but it is worse because you can't mass delete and you can't recieve email.
If you are using this, and I think I will, make another account just for it.
>>51634982
>expandrive
I like how they make absolutely no actual reference to their software being a 7-day trialware on their website. Bad impression imo
>>51636346
Aww fuck you're probably right. I was considering doing this until you said that. Can anyone confirm this? Dunno if its really possible to confirm this, but I wouldn't be surprised if they did this because they pull this shit with prime all the time. Amazon student automatically starts charging you after your free year, and a lot of people don't even notice.
>>51636467
If you don't have any form of payment attached and you use a separate account that you can nuke I think you'll just have to wipe everything on the account or download it after the year is up.
If you are just storing animus and music I don't see too much of an issue. But I'd never trust companies with important data storage. The best keeper of your own data is yourself.
>>51636346
its just 60$ for an offsite backup. way better than a backup in the same house. so if your house burns down you will still have your data. and just encrypt your shit.
>>51634381
im banned from amazon so 0 for me bb
>>51637305
Make a new account and store some weebo shit on the cloud
>>51634381
Thanks doc
>>51637457
aahhh much better
thanks doc

thanks!
am i not able to buy multiple years eh?
>>51634381
>This plan is currently not available for your country yet.
Ok then
>>51638745
dont use another amazon account like .de .co.uk if you dont have an amazon.com account make a new one.
>>51638803
I would still have to find a payment method unless they don't check if the cc is from the us... too much work, i don't really need it
>>51638846
I did use a non usa cc and it worked but if you dont have use for it I wouldnt bother with it.
>>51636346
Maybe there will be another deal next black friday?
>>51636346
you can opt straight away to not being charged at the end of the year.
>>51634381
>cloud
Gonna jump on this, lost a crapton of images and project files after an SSD failed out fucking nowhere after 3 months of use. Thankfully i had backups for the important project files but random wips that i was just starting on are all gone.
>2 tb of free baidu here
with 1,2 tb used.
Mostly mirror and backup, and yes all of this shit is encrypted.
Lastly 2 of my hdd drives died, one 4 moths after buy, other 3 years. I am not going to make any mistakes now.
And i prey for long live of my shitty home server
>>51640209
How did you get baidu, i looked it up but there doesn't seem to be any english site (or is it chinaman only?).
>cloud shit
Not even once.
whats the point? physical storage is so cheap!
>>51640481
>1 in a bllion change both drives fail, your pc explodes, fire in the house, water damage, stolen, whatever
>now all your data is gone
>stored in "cloud" is infintie raid arrays backed up on a minute basis
>unless all of the cloud server warehouse explodes you won't ever lose your data
>>51634603
I got it when I bought a vacuum sealer.
